Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 lbs baby red potatoes unpeeled, halved if large
  • 1 cup sour cream full-fat
  • 1/2 cup salted butter cut into pieces
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt plus more to taste

Instructions
 

  • Lightly grease the inside of the slow cooker with butter or non-stick spray.
  • Rinse and dry potatoes. Halve any larger potatoes so all pieces are similar in size.
  • Place potatoes into the slow cooker.
  • In a small bowl, stir together sour cream and salt until combined.
  • Dollop the sour cream mixture over the potatoes and scatter butter pieces evenly across the top.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Gently stir from the bottom to combine the melted butter and creamy sauce without breaking up all the potatoes.
  • Taste and adjust salt if needed. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Notes

Add shredded cheddar, chives, or crispy bacon for extra flavor. Best served warm straight from the slow cooker.
