If you prefer a tangier, slightly lighter version, swap half of the sour cream for plain Greek yogurt. To make this more of a complete meal, stir in cooked diced ham or crumbled cooked bacon during the last 30 minutes of cooking so it warms through without getting soggy.

If your family loves cheese, sprinkle shredded cheddar or Colby Jack over the top during the last 10 minutes on HIGH, cover, and let it melt into a cheesy crust. For make-ahead prep, you can rinse and dry the potatoes, cut the butter, and mix the sour cream and salt the night before; store everything in the fridge, then in the morning just toss the potatoes into the slow cooker, add the sour cream dollops and butter, and turn it on before you head out the door.
