Enjoy these comforting Slow Cooker 'Campfire' Potatoes, a creamy, cheesy side dish perfect for any meal.

This easy, hands-off recipe brings the flavors of a campfire classic right to your kitchen with minimal effort.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Potatoes and Vegetables

  • 5 medium russet potatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup white onion (1 small), sliced

Cheese

  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese

Butter Mixture

  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic (1 large clove), minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the butter mixture: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, oregano, and minced garlic. Stir well to blend all the flavors thoroughly.
  2. Mix potatoes and cheese: Add the sliced potatoes, parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, and sliced onions into the bowl with the butter mixture. Toss gently until all the potato slices are evenly coated with the mixture and the cheeses are distributed throughout.
  3. Prepare slow cooker: Spray the slow cooker insert with non-stick spray to prevent sticking during cooking. Then transfer the potato mixture into the slow cooker and spread it out into an even layer for consistent cooking.
  4. Cook the potatoes: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook the potatoes on HIGH heat for 4 hours. Avoid opening the lid during this time to keep the heat and moisture consistent, ensuring tender and flavorful potatoes.
  5. Serve and enjoy: After 4 hours, check that the potatoes are fork-tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve the campfire potatoes warm as a hearty side dish for any occasion.

Notes

  • For best results, use russet potatoes as they hold their shape well during slow cooking.
  • Do not open the slow cooker lid during cooking to maintain temperature and cooking time.
  • You can adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more garlic or herbs if desired.
  • If you prefer a crispy top, you can transfer the cooked potatoes to a baking dish and broil for a few minutes before serving.
  • Using non-stick spray in the slow cooker prevents the potatoes from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
