- Pour broth evenly over the top—liquid should come about halfway up the potatoes.
3. Cook Low & Slow
- Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours (or HIGH for 3–4 hours), until potatoes are tender but not mushy.
⚠️ Avoid lifting the lid early—steam is essential for even cooking.
4. Finish & Serve
- Gently toss once (if desired) to coat in buttery juices.
- Garnish with fresh herbs.
- Serve warm—spooning up plenty of onion-butter sauce!
Serving Suggestions
- 🍗 With mains: Roast turkey, baked ham, pork chops, or grilled sausages
- 🥬 For balance: Steamed green beans, buttered peas, or a crisp salad
- 🥖 To soak up sauce: Crusty bread or dinner rolls
Make-Ahead & Storage Tips
- Fridge: Keeps up to 3 days—reheat gently in microwave or slow cooker.
- Freeze: Not recommended—potatoes become grainy when thawed.
- Prep ahead: Chop potatoes and onions morning-of; store separately in fridge until layering.
