Making Slow Cooker Swamp Potatoes

Add the quartered potatoes to your crock pot.

Add in the diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced andouille sausage.

Spread the drained green beans evenly over the top.

Sprinkle the onion soup mix over everything.

Place the stick of butter right on top like the buttery crown it deserves.

Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are fork tender.

Gently stir everything before serving to coat in that rich, buttery sauce.

Sausage, potatoes, and green beans gives a buttery, smoky, and savory vibe to this dish.

How to Customize These Swamp Potatoes

Make it spicy: Add red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce
Add protein: Toss in cooked chicken, shrimp (last 30 minutes), or crispy bacon
Veggie boost: Bell peppers, corn, or mushrooms work great
Extra cheesy: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or pepper jack before serving

Healthier Options (If You’re Feeling Responsible)

Cut butter in half (still delicious, just slightly less swampy)
Add extra green beans or other veggies for balance
