🥔 The Magic Mixture (3 Ingredients!)

Ingredient
Why It Works
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
Creates a rich, savory base (use cream of mushroom for vegetarian)
½ cup (1 stick) melted butter
Adds richness and prevents dryness
½ cup milk or half-and-half
Keeps texture creamy, not gluey
💡 Optional boost: Add 1 packet (1 oz) dry ranch or onion soup mix for extra flavor!

Step-by-Step Instructions (Effortless & Foolproof)

  1. Prep: Place 2–3 lbs Yukon Gold or red potatoes, quartered, into a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Mix: In a bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, melted butter, and milk until smooth.
  3. Pour: Pour mixture evenly over potatoes. Stir gently to coat.
  4. Cook:
    • LOW: 6–7 hours
    • HIGH: 3.5–4 hours
  5. Serve: Stir gently (optional), then scoop into a bowl. No draining needed!
Pro Tip: For extra creaminess, stir in ½ cup sour cream or shredded cheddar during the last 30 minutes.

Why This Works So Well

  • Yukon Golds break down slightly, thickening the sauce naturally.
  • Butter + soup = rich, velvety texture without heavy cream.
  • No pre-boiling—potatoes cook perfectly tender in their own steam.
