Photo: Slow Cooked Potatoes with Butter and Thyme Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 ounces bacon (about 5 slices)
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme
- 4 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed and quartered with skin
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 dried bay leaves
- 5 black peppercorns, plus freshly ground for serving
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced
Directions
Line the bottom of the slow-cooker with bacon and toss half the thyme on top. Top with the potatoes, salt, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Pour the chicken broth over the potatoes and add water to cover the potatoes. Scatter the remaining thyme and the butter on top. Cover and cook on HIGH for 5 to 6 hours, or until potatoes are fork tender.
Discard the bay leaves and peppercorns. Ladle into large shallow bowls and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Absolutely delicious! So very easy to make, it's my go-to recipe time and time again. Recommend low-sodium chicken broth, or omit the salt to keep the sodium levels in check. Definitely use thick cut bacon, it really boost the flavor and makes sure the pieces don't disintegrate in the cooking process. PLUS, you can easily add boneless chicken thighs between the bacon and potatoes (if your cooker is large enough, don't overcrowd! to make this a one pot wonder. Enjoy!

This recipe was very simple and easy to make. It came out very juicy and fell apart.

Extra tips: Try using thick cut leaner bacon and chop it up. Can also be topped with green onions. Tastes better the day after.
