Step 2:
Add the butter beans on top of the potatoes. Spoon the bacon grease or butter over everything, letting it settle into the gaps.

Tip: Bacon grease adds depth and a subtle smoky flavor, especially since this recipe uses water instead of broth. It also helps create a smoother, richer texture.

Step 3:
Pour in the water and add salt (and pepper if using). Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.

You’ll know it’s ready when the potatoes are very soft and the liquid turns slightly thick and cloudy.

Step 4:
Give everything a gentle stir before serving.

Tip: Stirring slightly breaks down the potatoes, helping thicken the broth into a rustic, hearty sauce that coats the beans.
