Description
I love the idea of combining these two holiday favorites.
Portions size: is based on 1/2 medium potato per person. Choose smaller or larger. Part way through the cooking i stuck a toothpic under the lid to prop it open to vent some of the steam and reduce the liquid. The original recipe did not specify high or low heat setting. *i started my crock on the low setting then kicked it up to high after a couple hours cuz i got nervous about the timing.
