1. Layer in Slow Cooker
In a large bowl, gently toss potatoes and onions with melted butter, salt, and pepper.
Transfer to slow cooker; pour broth over top.
Do not stir after pouring—this helps create a light crust on top.
2. Cook Low & Slow
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours (or HIGH for 3.5–4 hours), until potatoes are fork-tender and onions are caramelized.
3. Optional Finishing Touch
For extra richness: Stir in 2 tbsp butter or sprinkle with Parmesan before serving.
For crisp top: Transfer to oven-safe dish; broil 3–5 minutes (optional).

❤️ The Heart of the Dish
This isn’t just a side—it’s a taste of quiet simplicity and care. It’s what grandmothers made when company came, what filled plates at harvest suppers, and what says, “You’re welcome here.”
So slice those spuds, layer those onions, and trust the slow cooker. Because the best meals aren’t fancy—they’re rustic, comforting, and made with love.
“Good potatoes don’t need a recipe—they just need kindness, and someone hungry.” 🥔✨
