👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly, then slice them into uniform 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
Mix the Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, chicken broth, dry onion soup mix, and salt until fully combined.
Prepare the Slow Cooker
Lightly grease a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker to help prevent sticking.
Arrange the Potatoes
Stand the potato slices upright in tightly packed rows, creating neat stacks throughout the slow cooker.
Add the Liquid
Pour the butter and broth mixture evenly over the potatoes, allowing the liquid to flow between the rows so every slice is coated.
Cook
Cover and cook until the potatoes are tender.
- LOW: 5–6 hours
- HIGH: 3–4 hours
The potatoes are ready when they are easily pierced with a fork and the edges have turned lightly golden.
Finish and Serve
Switch the slow cooker to WARM if needed for up to 2 hours. Before serving, spoon some of the flavorful cooking juices over the potatoes. Carefully lift the stacks with a wide spatula or serving spoon to keep them intact, then drizzle each serving with extra buttery broth.
✨ Tender, buttery, and full of savory flavor, these Slow Cooker Savory Russet Disks are an easy side dish that adds a special touch to any meal.
