I've never done it before but they come out fine. You just toss the potatoes
in the slow cooker and forget about it. I used the low setting. It was about
11 hours before I checked on it. Now I have to do something with it. I had a
couple of white potatoes in there so I fried it up with some Portuguese
sausage and topped it with tomatoes and scrambled eggs.
