Slow Cooker Crock Pot

Potatoes are a staple in many dinner plates not only because it is easy to serve, but it can be used in a variety of ways. With a slow cooker you’ll be able to produce some truly delectable treats.

Potatoes with Ham

This will make an excellent side dish, and works particularly well with steaks or chicken. The ingredients are 3 pounds of potatoes, (they can be skinned or peeled), rosemary (6 sprigs), country ham (8 ounces or more, or you can use smoked ham instead); you’ll also need garlic (a couple of sliced cloves will do), a teaspoon of salt, pepper (1/4 teaspoon), butter (2 tablespoons), a bay leaf, and chicken broth (2 to 3 cups).

First you cut the potatoes into edible bits, and then slice the smoked or country ham. The next step is to use the ham to cover the potatoes. Now get some pepper, and sprinkle some on it. Next spray some garlic and rosemary, dashing a little pepper between layers. Put the bay leaf on top, and pour the broth. Put everything in a slow cooker (high), and leave it there for about five hours.

Hash Brown Potatoes

This is a slow cooker recipe that will take little effort to prepare. This dish works well with meat, but also with other meals. To create this, the following are required: a can of mushroom cream soup (10 oz.), sour cream (2 cups), cheese (2 cups, shredded), dash pepper, onions (half a cup, finely chopped), pepper (1/4 teaspoon), salt (3/4 teaspoon), and 1 and ½ to 2 lbs of hash brown potatoes.

Get the cheese, soup, salt, onions, pepper and sour cream, and place them in a bowl. Add the diced potatoes and stir. Now place some butter on the slow cooker and pour everything there. Set it to high, and let it cook for 90 minutes, then adjust the setting to low and leave it for another 2 and half hours.

Potato Casserole

The ingredients include frozen and shredded hash brown potatoes, onion (chopped, 1 cup), nacho cheese soup (1 can), celery soup (1 cup condensed), light sour cream (8 ounces) and melted butter (6 tablespoons).

As usual, spray the slow cooker with cooking spray. Pour in the onions, soup, sour cream, the butter and the browns and adjust the setting to low. This will take about 6 hours.

These slow cooker potato meals are really quite simple, and even a novice will have no trouble getting them right. Forget the notion that you need experience; with a slow cooker and the right ingredients, you can produce a masterpiece.
