I made these in the crock pot as posted, and loved the way they held together cooked that way. The presentation is beautiful. But the flavors didn't really get into the potato because of the skin, and I think it might enhance the taste of the potatoes to dice them up before pouring the butter on them. Next time I'll try that. Served these with fish and they were thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks for sharing!

I didn't know what it meant to cut a strip of peel from the middle, now looking at the other photos I know. I just cut through the middle of the potato for the knife to appear at the other end. I thought this will allow the dressing to soak through, didn't really matter as it tasted wonderful. We all really enjoyed this recipe and will be making it again. Thank you weekend cooker.

These were really creamy and cooked well, I didn't know potatoes would turn out so well in a crockpot!! I used dried chives and parsley and added salt, pepper, and garlic powder. The lemon is a nice addition that does not overpower the potatoes. Made for Everyday Holiday.

Just loved these potatoes!! Great combination of lemon and butter flavors along with the slight onion flavor from the chives. I only made it to serve one, I also cooked the potatoes (2 of them) in the microwave on high for 3 minutes and then let them rest(still covered) for several minutes. I then added the butter, lemon, salt and pepper and sprinkled on the chives. I served it with 1/4 of a rotisserie for a great lunch. Made for Went to the Market Tag Game.

Very tasty, the lemon makes them. Like another reviewer, I made these in the microwave. We chopped them before tossing with the dressing so it would be well absorbed, and it worked very well. I used Meyer lemons from our tree, 2-3 times the amount after reading the reviews, and thought it was the right amount. And then just sprinkled on the salt and pepper.
