5. Cover, cook on low 8-10 hours.

6. Other tips:

7. Wash potatoes night before, for quick prep the next day.

Thanks for the great recipe / idea. I doubled your recipe with as many potatoes as I could fit in the slow cooker on a Friday night and left it for 12 hours and in the morning they were done. I then used the potatoes to make mashed potatoes. This is a TON easier than peeling and boiling and it was almost just as good. This is a great time saver and is something I am going to use for the holidays! Thanks so much again.
