Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by thoroughly washing and peeling the potatoes. Cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
- Finely chop the onions to create a consistent texture throughout the dish. Measure out 1/2 cup of chopped onions.
- In a large slow cooker, first layer the cubed potatoes to create an even base for cooking.
- Sprinkle the chopped onions evenly over the potatoes to distribute flavor throughout the dish.
- Pour the cream of mushroom soup directly over the potatoes and onions, ensuring good coverage.
- Slowly add the beef broth, which will help create a rich, flavorful gravy during cooking.
- Season generously with salt and pepper, adjusting to your personal taste preferences.
- Cover the slow cooker and set to low heat, allowing the potatoes to cook slowly for 5-6 hours until they become tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Occasionally stir the potatoes gently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking and gravy distribution.
- Once potatoes are soft and gravy has thickened, taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve hot, spooning extra gravy over the potatoes for maximum flavor.
Tips
- • For the most consistent texture, cut potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking. • Use low-sodium beef broth to better control the salt level in your dish. • Stir gently every couple of hours to prevent potatoes from sticking and to distribute gravy evenly. • If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little cold water and stir in during the last hour of cooking. • For extra richness, consider adding a splash of heavy cream in the final 30 minutes of cooking. • Let the potatoes rest for 10-15 minutes after cooking to allow the gravy to set and flavors to fully develop.
