Toss Raw Sliced Russet Potatoes into the Slow Cooker with Just 3 Other Ingredients—and Somehow You Get a Cozy Dinner Your Family Will Ask for Again

How to Make It

1. Prep the Slow Cooker

Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.

2. Layer the Potatoes

Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes in the slow cooker. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add a few cubes of butter.

Repeat layering until all potatoes are used, finishing with butter on top.

3. Add the Cream

Pour the cream evenly over the potatoes. Do not stir—letting the layers stay intact helps them cook evenly.

4. Cook Low and Slow

Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender and creamy.

5. Serve Warm

Gently scoop out servings, allowing the tender layers to stay mostly intact.
