Slow Cooker Taco Potatoes

Slow Cooker Taco Potatoes are easy and exactly the kind of dish you can task the younger (or less culinarily-inclined) humans in your house with preparing.

Plus they are not expensive and they have salsa in them, so that makes them work for a whole lot of people (and all the types of people living in my house).

If you are using a hot chili powder, you may want to hold back a touch on the quantity in the recipe. I usually use a fairly mild powder so a tablespoon / 15 ml is just nicely warm.

I make these in a 4 quart / 4 liter oval slow cooker, and cook them on high for 2-1/2 to 3 hours. (Since every slow cooker is different, test your potatoes after 2-1/2 hours and continue cooking if needed.)

This works as a side (maybe with some fresh boiled corn) or as a main dish (with some guacamole and extra salsa).

If you have leftovers, try them in a tortilla for lunch.

You can substitute 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning for the cumin and chili powder. You can serve this as a side dish, or as a meatless main dish. As a main dish, offer some guacamole, salsa and sour cream on the side.
