Equipment

Ingredients

3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes cut into bite-sized pieces
1 medium yellow onion cut into bite-sized pieces
1 medium red bell pepper cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons butter melted
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
3 teaspoons garlic minced
1½ cups cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

Add all of the ingredients to a 6-quart slow cooker. Mix until well-coated.
Cover and cook on high for 2 ½ to 3 hours or on low for 4 to 5 hours. Make sure the potatoes are fork-tender.
Add cheese to the top of the potatoes. Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Give a gentle stir before serving, and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to cut the potatoes and vegetables into bite-size pieces so they cook fully within the specified time. You also want them all to be similar in size so that they cook in the same amount of time.

If you chop up the potatoes in advance, submerge them in a bowl of water to keep them from turning brown.

Mix everything together after it's added to the pot and then give your potatoes a gentle stir just before serving to ensure everything is evenly mixed together.
