2. Saute Onions: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.

3. Seasoning: Stir in the dried thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.

4. Layering: Begin by creating a base layer of sautéed onions at the bottom of the greased slow cooker stoneware.

5. Assemble Layers: Layer the thinly sliced potatoes over the onions, repeating until all potatoes and onions are used, finishing with a final layer of potatoes.

6. Add Stock: Pour enough chicken or beef stock over the layered potatoes and onions to just cover them.

7. Cooking: Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Cook on LOW setting for 8 to 10 hours, or on HIGH setting for 4 to 5 hours, until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

8. Variation – Bakers’ Potatoes Gratin:

   • Once the potatoes are cooked and tender, transfer the contents of the slow cooker into a baking dish.
   • Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Swiss or Gruyere cheese evenly over the top of the potatoes.
   • Place the dish under a preheated broiler until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, creating a deliciously cheesy crust.

9. Serve: Enjoy your Crock Pot Bakers’ Potatoes as a comforting side dish alongside your favorite main course.
