Steps:

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For best results, use firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold, Red, or New Potatoes. These potatoes hold their shape well and won't become mushy in the slow cooker.
- Cut potatoes evenly: Cut potatoes into uniform pieces so they cook evenly. Smaller pieces will cook faster than larger pieces.
- Season potatoes well: Don't be afraid to season your potatoes generously. Salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs are all great options.
- Add some liquid: Potatoes need some liquid to cook properly. Add enough broth, water, or milk to cover the potatoes by about an inch.
- Cook on low and slow: The best way to cook potatoes in a slow cooker is on low and slow. This allows the potatoes to cook through without becoming overcooked or mushy.
- Check potatoes for doneness: Potatoes are done when they are tender when pierced with a fork. If they are not done, continue cooking for a little longer.
