All you need to do is start with some yellow potatoes and a cutting board. You could probably substitute red potatoes if you wanted, but I wouldn’t use Russets (they don’t seem to have high enough moisture content). I used 2 lbs 4 oz of potatoes and I measured them with my kitchen digital scale (which I can’t live without btw).

After I washed my potatoes, I cut my potatoes in half and then in half again (so in quarters). You can cut them in smaller bite-size pieces, if you’d like.
Side dish for potatoes in the crockpot
I used my casserole crock for this recipe (which is such a great crockpot), but you can just layer the potatoes in a regular 6 quart slow cooker, if that’s what you have at your house. You’ll then add in some salt, olive oil, garlic powder and black pepper (cheese comes later) and let them cook for a few hours.

Once the potatoes are soft and cooked through–it’ll take about 3 hours on high–you can sprinkle cheese and chives on top and let it get all melty. One thing that would be amazing is adding bacon crumbles on top too! I didn’t have any at home when I was making this but that would just add this dish to a whole new level.
