Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp melted salted butter (plus more to grease the slow cooker)
  • 2 pounds russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 large yellow onions, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heavily grease the inside of a 4-6 quart slow cooker with butter.
  • Peel and thinly slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds.
  • Peel and chop the onions into 1/8-1/4-inch slices.
  • Pour 1-2 tsp melted butter into the base of the slow cooker and tilt to coat evenly.
  • Layer potato slices, followed by onions, and drizzle with 1 tsp butter per layer. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with a drizzle of butter on top.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours until tender.
  • Uncover and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Slice through the layers and serve with the buttery juices.

Notes

Use high-quality fresh potatoes and onions for best flavor.
Avoid overfilling the slow cooker to prevent overflow.
Serve with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful juices.
