Crockpots are life savers. Here is a crockpot recipe you might enjoy.
Take any meat you had left over from the night before, add a salad and this great potato side dish and you have a quick and easy meal.
Mushroom Potatoes
7 medium potatoes, peeled, thin sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions, chopped
1 (8 oz.) can mushroom pieces, drained
1/4 cup flour
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 cup butter or margarine cubed
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, grated
In a crockpot, layer 1/2 of potatoes, onions, garlic, mushrooms, flour, salt, pepper and margarine.
Layer with other half and top with soup. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until potatoes are tender. Sprinkle with cheese the last 30 minutes of cooking time.

This sounds heavenly, and unique. I can’t wait to try it.
Reading this post made me crave homemade potato soup! Cool, rainy weather today…its time for snuggly warm soups and side dishes! yay! My favorite season! Thanks for such a great recipe to add to my slow cooker recipe collection!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy your dinner!
This sounds yummy. I will make soon.
Some sliced or shreaded carrots would also be good in this soup. I add cabbage to my potatoe soup. Yes, lots of starch…I know. But sooo good.
You are sooo right Bonnie, lots of starch but yum. I imagine you could add cheese and even though I said to use leftover meat a bit of bacon wouldn’t hurt either. We may as well jump in with both feet. HA!HA!
I was wondering if you add any water to this? It seems like it would be dry. The reason I ask is that last evening I made a hash brown casserole and I did not have milk on hand and did not get the mushroom soup very dilute. I added a bit of water but not as much as I would have added on the milk. It was too concentrate. I finally was able to rescue it by adding some evaporated milk and some more water and rebaking.
Peggy I don’t think you do. You do have 1/4 cup of margarine which will add some liquid too. If you have had trouble before some crock pots cook hotter then others too so you may have to turn yours down a little. If you are still worried add a small amount of liquid you can add a little corn starch to it to thicken then at the end if it is to runny.
