This slow cooker 5-ingredient Amish creamed peas and potatoes is the kind of comforting side dish you can make almost without thinking. It leans on a simple Amish-style approach: fresh baby potatoes and peas simmered gently in heavy cream with just a few pantry staples.
The magic starts when you pour heavy cream over raw baby potatoes right in the slow cooker—no pre-boiling, no roux, no fuss. As it cooks low and slow, the cream thickens slightly, the potatoes turn tender, and the peas stay sweet and bright. The result is a cozy, farmhouse-style side that feels just as right on a busy weeknight as it does on a Sunday dinner table.
