I'm hosting a party on Saturday and I'd like to be able to cook or keep the potatoes warm in a slow cooker. Mashed, scallopped, or any other kind of potatoes are fine, I'd just like to be able to make them and then ignore them so I can get other stuff done.

They don't need to be low fat.

Do you have any suggestions for me?

This might work:

Bakers Potatoes

The slow cooker version of Potatoes Boulangere. Serves 6 to 8.

Lightly Greased Slow Cooker Stoneware.

2 Tbsp. Earth Blance

2 onions, thinly sliced

½ tsp. dried thyme leaves

1 tsp. salt

½ tsp. black pepper

6 potatoes, thinly sliced

1 to 2 cups vegetarian broth

In a skillet, melt Earth Balance over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until softened. Add thyme, salt and pepper and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Place a thin layer of onions on the bottom of greased slow cooker stoneware. Add a layer of potatoes. Repeat until all potatoes and onions are used up, finishing with a layer of potatoes. Add broth to cover.

Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours, until potatoes are tender.

VARIATION:

Bakers’ Potatoes Gratin: When the potatoes are cooked, transfer the contents of the slow cooker to a baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup vegan cheese over top and brown under a preheated broiler.
