How long can you put potatoes in the crockpot?

You can cook potatoes on low for about 6–7 hours or on high for 3–3.5 hours. However, check for tenderness as crockpot times can vary.

Can potatoes and onions stay together?

Yes! Potatoes and onions cook beautifully together. In fact, they enhance each other’s flavors as they simmer

Thin-sliced onions soften right along with the potatoes, so around 3–3.5 hours on high or 6–7 hours on low.

Not in a crockpot. You want to keep the lid on so the moisture and steam help them cook evenly.
