The slow cooker is the perfect way to cook ham and potatoes! So tender and delicious. I always add carrots and green beans. Serve with fresh sliced tomatoes and cornbread and your meal is complete!
If you don’t have fresh green beans you can use frozen. I usually use about half the bag of baby carrots and save the rest for snacking on during the week.

4 or 5 potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces (you can use small red potatoes and just cut in half in you prefer)

In slow cooker add baby carrots, potatoes and onions. Salt and pepper to taste. Pour broth over vegetables.
