Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Amish Creamed Corn Potatoes

ADVERTISEMENT

This is my go‑to side dish for nights when I’m staring into the fridge with no plan. Just four simple ingredients—potatoes, creamed corn, sour cream, and butter—come together in the slow cooker to make a cozy, creamy, slightly sweet potato dish. It tastes like something you’d find at a church potluck or in a Midwest grandma’s kitchen, but with almost no effort. Perfect for busy weekdays, holidays when the oven is full, or anytime you want comfort without babysitting a pot.

Slow Cooker Creamed Corn Potatoes (4 Ingredients)

Ingredients

Ingredient Amount Notes
Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes 2 lbs Peeled, diced into ½‑inch cubes
Creamed corn 2 cans (14.75 oz each) Base of the sauce
Sour cream 1 cup Adds tang and creaminess
Unsalted butter 4 tbsp Cut into pieces
Kosher salt 1 tsp Plus more to taste
Black pepper ½ tsp Optional

Directions

  1. Prep Potatoes
    Peel (or leave some skin for rustic texture) and dice into ½‑inch cubes.
  2. Layer in Slow Cooker
    Place potatoes in a 4–6 quart slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Add Cream & Butter
    Dollop sour cream over potatoes. Scatter butter pieces on top.
  4. Pour Corn
    Pour creamed corn evenly over everything. Spread gently to cover.
  5. Stir & Cook
    Stir to coat potatoes. Cover and cook:

    • LOW for 5–6 hours, or
    • HIGH for 2½–3½ hours, until potatoes are tender and mixture creamy.
  6. Adjust Texture
    Stir well. Add more salt/pepper if needed. If too thick, stir in a splash of milk or sour cream. If too loose, cook uncovered on HIGH for 15–20 minutes.
  7. Serve & Hold
    Serve warm straight from the slow cooker, or transfer to a dish. Keep on WARM for 1–2 hours, stirring occasionally.
