I haven’t been able to go camping (in our travel trailer) this year. We had some family emergencies and we also just got back from a Carnival Cruise, which took up some of our normal camping dates. I love making recipes in my slow cooker while camping, instead of grilling or using the fire. It’s mainly because I know that I’ll get good results and it’s even more joyful for me to cook in the slow cooker when it’s not at home!

When I started preparing to make these potatoes I planned to make loaded style potatoes, then I came across a few recipes online that use Worcestershire sauce, I added some extra flavors like garlic and parmesan to make these potatoes unique. The butter sauce that I make for these potatoes tastes like a homemade dressing. If you are looking for a unique recipe to make, this is a great one to try.

After the potatoes are mixed with the butter mixture, it may seem dry. It won’t be I promise, the butter will melt back down and make a delicious sauce for the potatoes.

Below is what the potatoes look like after cooking on high for 4 hours. Keep the lid on the entire time so the potatoes get tender.

I hope you enjoy this side dish recipe! I’ll be back next week with another new recipe. I’m wishing summer wasn’t flying by so fast so I can make more recipes like this one.

    I’d like to thank you for emailing me this recipe the potatoes were fantastic.

  2. Wayne Powers says:

    Does this have to use cheese? I do not eat cheese, but I love potatoes like this.

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      Yes, i think so. You may need to add a touch more salt.

  3. Marinus says:

    I cannot use Worchestersauce (gluten). Do you have suggestiuons for other sauces/flavours?

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      Maybe a touch of soy sauce?

      1. Dawn says:

        Not all soy sauces are gluten free

      2. Irene Furneaux says:

        Or Kikoman’s Tamari, Japanese Soy, it is gluten free. and not so salty.

    2. Dawn says:

      There are some gluten free Worcester
      Shire sauces. LEA & PERRINS

      1. David says:

        Lea & Perrins IS gluten free according to their bottle. On a side note, I am not usually a stickler for name brand anything, Lea & Perrins IS THE ONLY Worcestershire sauce, in my humble opinion. Never tasted another that compared

    3. Kerrie says:

      You can get a gluten free Worcestershire sauce. Look around in health food shops, gluten free sections in supermarkets etc.

    4. Gaile Hennig says:

      Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce is gluten free. It says it right on the bottle.

    2. Lauren says:

      That’s what I was going to ask! Thanks.

      1. Sarah Olson says:

        Yes, thank you I added that to the recipe.

  6. Kathi says:

    Hi Sarah – since there is only one of me that I cook for when I made this recipe, I took the left overs and placed them in 3 individual freezer bags. Then later I took a bag out and added 2 Tablespoons of milk and reheated it in a microwave bowl for 2 – 2/12 minutes. Yum!!! Thanks for a great recipe.

  7. Kristi says:

    Thanks Sarah! This was a great recipe! I made it camping and everyone loved them. I cooked them all day and used one of those liners for the crockpot so cleanup was easy. The worcheshire sauce is the key and adds a perfect kick! Shared this recipe with all my friends.

  8. Mary Ann Phillips says:

    I think this dish makes a great meal with a fresh lettuce salad and maybe some fruit. Was thinking of adding some portabellos.

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      sounds like a perfect meal Mary Ann!

      1. Brandon says:

        How do u freeze it and how long does it last in the freezer

      2. Sarah Olson says:

        Hi! I usually don’t have luck freezing potatoes, the texture changes.

  9. Valerie Khan says:

    I wonder if you can do this recipe with cauliflower as opposed to potatoes? Just maybe not cook it as long.

  10. Janice says:

    Hi… Wondering if you have ever doubled the campfire potato recipe, or 1 1/2 times??
    How much longer and did it cook good
    with more potatoes stacked higher,??? Thank you… Janice

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      I think the cooking time will remain the same. Keep the lid on the entire time.

    2. Big Fisherman says:

      Most slow cooker books say: more in the pot does not increase the cooking time.
