Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prep the Vegetables: Peel and slice the potatoes into 1/2-inch rounds. Slice the onions into thin strips.
-
Layer: Lightly grease the slow cooker. Place a layer of potatoes at the bottom, followed by a layer of onions. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
-
Season and Butter: Sprinkle each layer with salt and pepper. Dot the top and middle layers with the cubed butter.
-
Slow Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 6–8 hours or High for 3–4 hours. The dish is ready when the potatoes are buttery-soft and the onions are golden and translucent.
-
Finish: For a bit of extra color, you can carefully transfer the mixture to a baking dish and broil for 2–3 minutes, though it is delicious straight from the crock.
Serving Suggestions
This savory bake pairs beautifully with meaty mains like Slow Cooker Ranch Pork Chops or the Crockpot Sausage and Potatoes. If you are looking for a variety of textures, serve it alongside Stuffed Celery for a fresh, creamy crunch.
For a complete “comfort meal” experience, follow these potatoes with a warm dessert like the 4-Ingredient Apple Cinnamon Dump Cake or the rustic Hillbilly Pie. If you have extra bread on hand, like the 20-Minute Homemade Bread, use it to soak up any of the savory butter and onion juices at the bottom of the bowl.
