SLOW COOKER LOADED POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Combine potatoes, chicken stock, onion, salt, and pepper in a slow cooker. Cook on High until potatoes are tender, about 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels and wipe out most of the grease from the skillet.
• Puree potatoes in the slow cooker with an immersion blender until smooth. Add 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese and 1/2 of the cooked bacon, set temperature to Low, and cook for 1 to 2 hours.
• Melt butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add heavy cream and sour cream and whisk until thickened. Pour into the slow cooker and cook on Low for 1 more hour.
• Ladle into bowls and garnish with remaining bacon, remaining Cheddar, sour cream, and scallions.

SLOW-COOKER MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Toss the potatoes, butter, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add 1 cup of water, then cover and cook on high until the potatoes are tender, about 4 hours. (The potatoes might have browned lightly in spots but that is okay.)
• Remove the lid and add the sour cream and 1 1/2 cups warm milk to the potatoes. Use a potato masher to smash the potatoes until they are mostly smooth. If the potatoes need to be thinned out, stir in the remaining 1/2 cup warm milk. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Garnish with chives.

CROCK POT POTATOES TWO WAYS, GARLIC RANCH AND TACO

Steps:

• Spray a large slow cooker with non-stick spray.
• Place all the ingredients in a large slow cooker. Stir to combine slightly. While the potatoes are cold they won't coat completely and that's totally fine.
• Cook on high for 3-4 hours or until the potatoes are fork tender. (NOTE: Check the potatoes after 1 hour and stir to make sure all the potatoes are coated fully. Check again after 2.5 hours and make sure they aren't done. Depending on the size of the potatoes, they could cook a bit quicker)
• Serve hot, enjoy!

• Add the remaining ham, potatoes, and onion, and sprinkle lightly with more salt and pepper.
• In a bowl, combine the condensed soup with the milk.
• Spoon the soup mixture over the potatoes and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
• Sprinkle with the paprika.

SLOW-COOKER SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Rub the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker very lightly with the butter on the bottom and 2 inches up the sides.
• Whisk together the cream, broth, flour and thyme in a 2-cup measuring cup.
• Arrange 1/3 of the sliced potatoes in an even and slightly overlapping layer on the bottom of the slow cooker insert. Sprinkle 1/3 of the Gruyere over the potatoes, and add 3/4 teaspoon salt and an even grating of black pepper. Drizzle 1/3 of the cream mixture evenly over the layer. Repeat with 2 more layers of potatoes, Gruyere, salt, pepper and cream mixture.
• Press the potatoes down firmly to make sure they are submerged. Cover the slow cooker, and cook on high until the potatoes are tender and the liquid has thickened, 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Remove the lid, and let the potatoes rest for 15 minutes. (The sauce may seem thin at first, but it will thicken as it sits.)

CROCK POT ROAST WITH POTATOES AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper on all sides. Add the roast to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until all of the sides are browned.
• Remove the roast for the pan and transfer to a slow cooker. Add the garlic, gravy mix, ranch seasoning mix, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet and heat, gently scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Add the potatoes and carrots to the slower cooker around the roast. Pour the broth mixture over the top. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, until the meat is tender and falls apart easily.
• Remove the roast and vegetables from the slow cooker. Reserve the broth and drippings for making gravy.
• Shred the roast or cut into chunks, then serve the meat and vegetables hot with gravy and sprinkled with fresh parsley.
