Made this today very tasty , nice change
Could you cook this on low for longer time frame? Looking at setting it in the morning while I’m at work.
I think 5-6 hours on low would be the longest I would let this go.
I’ll see what the recipe says make sure you mix the soup over the potatoes but I’m afraid that you would stir the potatoes up-could you just make everything in a bowl and then pour it over the potatoes?
Yes, you can do that. Will work fine.
Can I half recipe? For a 2 quart slow cooker?
That should work fine!
Can I use carrots instead of potatoes in this recipe? Have you tried it with carrots? The only carrot recipes I’ve found have added sugar and I’m not a fan of that bc carrots are sweet already. Thanks!
It’s hard to say without testing it. It may be good.
I noticed it doesn’t say the potatoes should be peeled. Are they really unpeeled in this recipe?
I do not peel them for this recipe, but you can if you want.
I am definitely making this potato recipe. Is it wise to add a little cheese sauce?
I have not tried, unsure how the results would be.
I haven’t made this yet
Looks good will make it
I have a question
What can that I can substitute for the Lipton Onion Soup mix can’t eat it because I am allergic to it because it has cornstarch?

Can I bake the potatoes first to save time?
Yes, that will work fine.
Can I double !
Yes, you’ll most likely need to cook for an additional hour.
Can this be made in a casserole crockpot casserole?
I don’t see why not! The timing may be different though, you’ll have to test it out.
Could you use a different type of potato, such as a red potato?
