Potatoes are peeled, and cut into the same pieces, which are 11/2 -inch across, such that they may be equal in cooking.
>Dip them in a little running cold water to wash the rest of the starch out of them and rinse them.

Add the chopped onions in the bottom of the slow cooker and the chopped garlic.
Take pieces of potato on the surface, and lay the pieces of butter on the potato in the same manner.
3. Step 3: Season and Add Liquid
Next add salt, pepper and thyme (dried) to the potatoes.
