Directions
1Spread potatoes across base of slow cooker
2(the aim is to create a single layer of potato that covers the bottom of the slow cooker)
3Scatter bacon and onion over the potato
4Divide each tablespoon of butter into about 4 portions so that you can scatter the butter in pieces over the potato area
5Add cracked black pepper to taste
6Cover and cook on HIGH for 3hrs 30mins (no tea towel) or until potato is tender but not too soft
7In the last 15-20 minutes scatter cheese over the potato smash to melt.
8Serve straight from your slow cooker - delicious!

Did this tonight ….I added shallots, chives, black sesame seeds and some herbs on top of the cheese ….really delicious…but a little o the soft side for us so next time I’ll do mine slightly larger …or maybe 1/2 to 50 mins less. ( ill just fork test it as its cooking ) Also I might rub the herbs into the potatoes first rather than at the end .

This is a very easy side to make. I get my son to make this. It is adaptable too.

You could do without skin but it won’t make a lot of difference to the time 🙂

Can you do this with out the skin on the potatoes? Will it be less time to cook?

This was delicious!! I was a bit worried that there was no liquid added, but it turned out great. I used a new slow cooker and it must cook a bit hot as mine was ready in around 2 hours. Will definitely be making this again.
