Ingredients
1½ chicken broth
4 c. diced potatoes
2 c. diced ham
½ diced onion
⅓ c. flour
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. seasoned salt
¼ tsp. cracked black pepper
½ tsp. ground thyme
1 T. dried parsley
2 c. shredded cheddar cheese, divided
¼ c. butter
2 c. frozen peas
1 c. sour cream
milk, to thin if necessary
Instructions
- Add potatoes, ham, onion, seasonings, one cup of cheese, and flour to slow cooker. Toss together to coat in flour.
- Pour chicken broth over potatoes. Stir. Set slices of butter over potatoes.
- Cook on low for 4-6 hours.
- After cooking stir frozen peas, and sour cream into the potato mixture. The peas will thaw and warm quickly. If creamed potatoes are too thick add a little extra milk to think them out. If they are too thin make a little slurry of flour mixed with milk and add it to the potatoes. It will thicken after a few minutes. You might also want to taste and add more salt to taste.
- Top potatoes with remaining cheese. Put the lid back on the slow cooker and let it sit for a few minutes until the peas are melted.
- Serve warm!
