Description
A nostalgic nod to simple, budget-friendly meals that deliver both flavor and satisfaction without breaking the bank. This dish combines the creaminess of potatoes with the nutritional powerhouse of butter beans.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
2 cups butter beans, canned or cooked, drained and rinsed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Begin by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into bite-sized cubes. Aim for uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
In your slow cooker, add the diced potatoes, butter beans, and butter. Mix gently to combine.
Set your slow cooker to low heat and cover. Allow the mixture to cook for 6-8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours.
About 30 minutes before serving, check the potatoes for tenderness. They should be soft but not mushy.
Once the potatoes are tender, stir the mixture gently to ensure the butter has melted and coated the potatoes and butter beans.
