Ingredients You’ll Need

1 pound baby potatoes, halved: These little spuds are naturally creamy. Want to switch it up? Use larger potatoes cut into chunks.
1 pound green beans, trimmed: Fresh green beans add a pop of color and crunch. If you’re in a pinch, you can substitute frozen green beans.
2 cloves garlic, minced: Garlic gives this dish an irresistible aroma and flavor profile. Feel free to add more if you’re a garlic lover!
1 ounce dry onion soup mix: This is the secret seasoning that ties everything together. You can also make your own mix if you prefer.
½ cup butter: The butter melts into the dish, enriching the overall flavor. For a lighter version, try substituting with olive oil.
Parsley for garnish: Fresh parsley adds a touch of color and brightness; it’s optional but lovely on the plate.

Storing & Reheating

To store your leftover Crockpot Swamp Potatoes, let them cool to room temperature before transferring them to an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. For longer storage, freeze the dish in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. When reheating, pop your serving in the microwave for about 2–3 minutes or until warmed through.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Be mindful when slicing the sausage; keep the pieces uniform for even cooking and flavor distribution.
If you’re using larger potatoes, ensure they’re cut into similar-sized chunks to prevent uneven cooking.
For extra depth, consider adding a few sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary to the cooker.
If you like a saucier dish, add a splash of chicken broth or water before cooking.
Don’t skip the garnish! Fresh herbs elevate the dish visually and brighten the flavors.
