Directions
1Spray slow cooker bowl with non stick cooking spray
2Rewash your potatoes to ensure they are nice and clean. Leave skin on.
3
4Slice the small potatoes thinly - if you cut them thick you will need to increase your cooking time to ensure they are cooked to tender.
5Lay half sliced potatoes in the sprayed bowl.
6Add think sliced onion rings, bacon and chorizo
7Cover with second half of potato slices
8Add garlic and pepper to cooking cream and mix well (see note below re cream)
9Pour cream mix over.
10
11Cook with tea towel/cover under lid for 2hrs high + 2.5hrs low (or 4.5hrs on auto).
1230mins before serving time add cheese on top and a sprinkle of paprika then re cover it and continue cooking so cheese can melt.
13(I use the paprika as it gives the look of browning - but you can finish it in the oven if you prefer)
14
15Serve straight from slow cooker and enjoy 🙂
16We served ours with sombrero chicken and salad as pictured

18Note: Cooking cream is a pourable cream in the cream fridge of your supermarket that is less likely to split during cooking than regular cream.

I did a version of this but still followed the cooking time as well as using the tea towel trick. I used 1kg baby white potatoes, 600mls cooking cream and a packet of french onion soup and left out the chorizo and onion. I sprinkled a layer of cheese in the middle with the bacon and it turned out beautiful the potatoes were cooked perfectly. I served it with crumbed lamb cutlets and it went down a treat with my family <3 I forgot to sprinkle the paprika over the cheese but nobody noticed 🙂

Yummy. Halved the recipe and did it in the 1.5ltr baby. Thought the chorizo would make it really oily but happy to say that wasn’t the case. Didn’t use the tea towel trick as the baby was way too full. Turned out great!

I made this today and it was so Delicious. My fussy 6y old ate it and my 9y old loved it! I only had 300ml cream so added sour cream as well, I also put in dried parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of vegeta and 2 teaspoons of wholegrain mustard. Definitely putting this on the list again to eat. 😋😋

Made this for dinner tonight it was so yummy and hubby was a huge fan I didn’t add the chorizo I didn’t have any but added a little sweet potato that was open in the fridge will definitely make this again ..the flavours were great I mostly cooked it on low cause my cooker cooks better slow thanks Paulene for another great recipe I served mine with homemade rissoles and peas.

Made this to die for dish in the baby slow cooker so halved ingredients, except chorizo, and reduced cooking time to 1.5 hours high then 1.5 hours low.
The smell was enticing and enough for 4 people. A stylish side that’s so easy!

Absolutely loved this recipe, made a large batch in 7 litre SC (I had bacon and chorizo that needed to be used up) and did an extra couple of layers. Served with devil wings and steamed beans. Will defiantly be making it again 😍

Amazed how well it turned out.

What is cooking cream equivalent in U.K.?

I use a 5L one usually but it would fit in a smaller or larger one too – just adjust times (an emptier cooker cooks a littler hotter than a full one)

Delicious! I cooked 3 hours on high and added a layer of sweet potato in between the onion, bacon and chorizo layer. Took all my self control not to eat the whole slow cookers worth. Yum!

I made this on the weekend and it was very tasty! We added extra chorizo sausage.. and the flavour really went through the cream. Thanks for the recipe!! Will definitely make it again.
