boiled potatoes in slow cooker?
I want to boil potatoes in a slow cooker. Googling for recipes turns
up: 1) Recipes for stuff which can be served with boiled potatoes 2) Recipes for dishes which _include_ boiled potatoes -- and it seems at least half of them say to boil the potatoes and then add them. -- Dan Goodman "You, each of you, have some special wild cards.

I've never heard of it but I don't see why it couldn't be done. Would take a terribly long time, though, even with the slow cooker set to High. Probably more efficient to just boil them in a pan on the stove. Definitely faster! Jill |

Simply put them in, cut into chunks if not baby potatoes. Add a small amount of broth or water, some butter or olive oil, salt, pepper and a bit of parsley. They come out very nice. |

Dan Goodman Why do you want to boil potatoes in a slow cooker? What is the source of this idea? I really don't see why that matters. Dan Goodman It matters because a slow cooker is harder to clean than a simple pot with a lid. Unless you do not have a stove on which you can heat a pot, there is no sane reason to use a slow cooker to boil potatoes. |
