Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or baby potatoes, hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart during cooking.
- Cut the potatoes and onions evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes and onions will not cook evenly.
- Cook the potatoes and onions until they are tender: You can test this by piercing them with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, they are done.
- Season the potatoes and onions to taste: You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other seasonings you like.
- Serve the potatoes and onions hot: They are best served immediately after they are cooked.

Simply combine the potatoes, onions, olive oil, salt, and pepper in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the potatoes and onions are tender.
