Make these Slow Cooker “Campfire” Potatoes for your next cookout or while camping if you have hook-ups.
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.
Wayne Powers says
Does this have to use cheese? I do not eat cheese, but I love potatoes like this.
Sarah Olson says
Yes, i think so. You may need to add a touch more salt.
Marinus says
I cannot use Worchestersauce (gluten). Do you have suggestiuons for other sauces/flavours?
Sarah Olson says
Maybe a touch of soy sauce?
Dawn says
Not all soy sauces are gluten free
Irene Furneaux says
Or Kikoman’s Tamari, Japanese Soy, it is gluten free. and not so salty.
Dawn says
There are some gluten free Worcester
Shire sauces. LEA & PERRINS
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
Kerrie says
You can get a gluten free Worcestershire sauce. Look around in health food shops, gluten free sections in supermarkets etc.
Gaile Hennig says
Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce is gluten free. It says it right on the bottle.

Thank you for replying
Lauren says
That’s what I was going to ask! Thanks.
Sarah Olson says
Yes, thank you I added that to the recipe.
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.
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.
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.
Sarah Olson says
sounds like a perfect meal Mary Ann!
Brandon says
How do u freeze it and how long does it last in the freezer
Sarah Olson says
Hi! I usually don’t have luck freezing potatoes, the texture changes.
Valerie Khan says
I wonder if you can do this recipe with cauliflower as opposed to potatoes? Just maybe not cook it as long.
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
Sarah Olson says
I think the cooking time will remain the same. Keep the lid on the entire time.
Big Fisherman says
Most slow cooker books say: more in the pot does not increase the cooking time.
