These slow cooker Amish-style comfort potatoes are the kind of simple, filling side dish that earns a regular place in a late-summer supper rotation. With just three ingredients, they come together with almost no fuss, then cook low and slow until the potatoes are tender and coated in a rich, creamy sauce. It is an easy recipe to lean on when the afternoon gets busy and you still want something warm and homey waiting by dinnertime.
Serve these potatoes alongside roast chicken, pork chops, meatloaf, ham, or simple grilled sausages for a hearty family meal. They also fit nicely on a potluck table with green beans, buttered corn, a tomato salad, or a crisp cucumber side, and a little black pepper or chopped parsley on top helps balance the richness.
3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Amish August Comfort Potatoes
Servings: 6
Ingredients
2 pounds small potatoes, scrubbed and halved if large
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
Directions
1. Lightly grease the inside of a slow cooker, then add the potatoes.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the condensed soup and sour cream until smooth.
3. Pour the mixture over the potatoes and stir gently so the potatoes are evenly coated.
4. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the sauce is hot and bubbling.
Variations & Tips
Kid-Friendly Version: If your family likes a plainer flavor, use cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup instead of cream of chicken for a softer, milder finish. You can also cut larger potatoes into smaller even pieces so every bite turns tender at the same time.
Extra Cozy Tip: For a richer casserole-style texture, stir the potatoes once or twice during cooking if you are home. That helps the sauce cling to every piece and keeps the edges especially creamy.
Make It a Meal: Add cooked diced ham or shredded rotisserie chicken during the last hour of cooking if you want to turn this easy side into a simple one-pot supper for a busy evening.
