Instructions

Prep

Peel, dice and rinse potatoes well.

Add the chicken broth, diced onion, salt and pepper to the potatoes and stir to combine.

Slow Cook

Place the lid on the slow cooker and turn the heat on high. Cook for 4 to 8 hours until the potatoes are fork tender.

Thicken

In a small bowl mix the cornstarch and milk together until the cornstarch has dissolved. Pour the milk into the crock pot with the cooked potatoes and stir well.
