Slow Cooker Taco Potatoes

While these Slow Cooker Taco Potatoes won't make photo of the year, they are a nice easy side dish that won't heat up the house, and a great way to use up one or two potatoes. They go well with exactly what you'd think, any grilled meat or main dish that has a Mexican type flavor profile. ~Or~ you could do what I did... Add a spoonful of sour cream and call it lunch:@) I think the key to cooking cubed russet potatoes in the Crock Pot is to give them a good stir with a little olive oil.

I've given this my 'slow cooking fast' label, the potatoes were cut into about 3/4-1" chunks, 

I set the slow cooker to high and it took about 2 hours to cook.

I made 1/3 of the recipe in my 2 quart Crock Pot.
