I’m all about making life easier. So when Cris asked me if I wanted to try this Crock Pot Potato Packet idea, I was more than willing! Now it took me a few tries to get it right, but it was worth the effort to bring you guys this recipe!

Ingredients for Crock Pot Potato Packet

  • 5-6 potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly
  • 1/2 onion, sliced thinly
  • salt and pepper to taste

How to Make a Potato Packet in a Crock Pot

  1. Tear off a large piece of foil
  2. Place 1/2 of your onion on the bottom
  3. Cover with half of your potatoes
  4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper
  5. Repeat layers
  6. Pull up the sides of the foil to form a packet and close tightly
  7. Place on top of your meat cooking in your 6-quart slow cooker (I used Sir Hamilton, my Programmable Insulated Slow Cooker)
  8. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours
  9. Remove packet from slow cooker and garnish as desired or make into mashed potatoes

 Crock Pot Potato Packet Notes

  • This is a recipe to make your own. If you want mashed potatoes, make them up into mashed potatoes. If you want creek potatoes, you can eat them like that. If you want to add bacon, add bacon! Whatever you want, go for it!
  • This Crock Pot Potato Packet is an add on recipe. You will be placing the packet in the same crock pot as a meat you are cooking for 6-8 hours. It makes it so you can make your main dish and side dish all in one crock pot! That way you only have to have or clean up one crock pot instead of two!
  • As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
  • All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

    Love this idea…I use my crock pot a lot but never actually thought of putting potatoes in foil. Your response to Natalie helped me realize that not everything has to taste the same because it is in the crock. I will try putting sliced roasted garlic in with the potatoes and mashing …yum…thanks for sharing your recipes!

      That sounds like a delicious idea! If you give it a try, let me know how it goes.

    how about doing just your potatoes in the foil without the meat,say ,if you wanted to just throw some meat on the BBQ after a long day at work so you could just sit back and relax,and the potatoes are done,pour a nice glass and enjoy your meal

    Why does thus recipe call for the use of tin foil? I see how it would be relative if doing them on bbq or in oven but don’t understand logic behind it in the crockpot.

      Hi Natalie!

      This is a recipe you can add to any of your long-cooking meat recipes so that you can make your meat and potatoes in the same crock pot. So the foil makes it so you can cook your potatoes without getting the meat seasonings on the potatoes.

      For instance, I made this particular potato packet on top of the Crock Pot Maple Beef Brisket. While the sauce for the brisket was awesome on the brisket, I wouldn’t have liked it on potatoes. So, with the foil packet, I was able to make both my main and a side in the same crock pot. Less clean up makes this momma happy! 🙂 Enjoy!
