Best Crazy Cooler Cooked Potatoes Recipes

CRACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put prepared potatoes in an 8 x 8 in. glass dish. Put butter cubes on top of potatoes. Sprinkle bacon bit on top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for 1 hour or until potatoes are fork tender.
• Take potatoes out of oven and top with ranch dressing and cheese. Stir. Put back in oven until cheese is melted about 5 minutes.

CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a large baking pan.
• Place potatoes into a large bowl.
• Whisk oil, onion powder, garlic salt, pepper, and paprika together in a small bowl. Pour over potato cubes, hand-tossing to coat. Place potatoes into the prepared pan, spreading them so that they are evenly dispersed.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Stir. Continue to bake until potatoes are crispy brown and tender, 10 to 20 minutes.

SLOW-COOKER MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Toss the potatoes, butter, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add 1 cup of water, then cover and cook on high until the potatoes are tender, about 4 hours. (The potatoes might have browned lightly in spots but that is okay.)
• Remove the lid and add the sour cream and 1 1/2 cups warm milk to the potatoes. Use a potato masher to smash the potatoes until they are mostly smooth. If the potatoes need to be thinned out, stir in the remaining 1/2 cup warm milk. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Garnish with chives.

SLOW-COOKER SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Rub the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker very lightly with the butter on the bottom and 2 inches up the sides.
• Whisk together the cream, broth, flour and thyme in a 2-cup measuring cup.
• Arrange 1/3 of the sliced potatoes in an even and slightly overlapping layer on the bottom of the slow cooker insert. Sprinkle 1/3 of the Gruyere over the potatoes, and add 3/4 teaspoon salt and an even grating of black pepper. Drizzle 1/3 of the cream mixture evenly over the layer. Repeat with 2 more layers of potatoes, Gruyere, salt, pepper and cream mixture.
• Press the potatoes down firmly to make sure they are submerged. Cover the slow cooker, and cook on high until the potatoes are tender and the liquid has thickened, 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Remove the lid, and let the potatoes rest for 15 minutes. (The sauce may seem thin at first, but it will thicken as it sits.)

EASY PRESSURE COOKER POTATOES

Steps:

• Pour water into the bottom of a pressure cooker (such as Presto®). Place a trivet into the pressure cooker and turn the heat on high.
• Place potatoes in a single layer in the pressure cooker and lock the lid. Cook over high heat until the pressure regulator reaches 15 psi, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Allow pressure to drop naturally, 10 minutes. Unlock and remove lid.
