Does anyone have a good recipe for yapchik made in a croc pot?

(Would love a recipe on the smaller side if anyone has, but can try to estimate a decrease, this isn't as sensitive as is with baking chemistry)

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Realeez's recipe is delicious and classic.

I put it up before shabbos and keep it on low the whole time, no high settings.

My mother used to make it on the stove over a blech but I'm not sure she wrote it down.

ETA: She layered and baked, then put it on the blech. You have to be careful so it doesn't burn. She has a piece from the hardware store that's supposed to turn stovetop into oven mode. It may be called a converter? It's like the bottom of a potato baker.

If you prefer a potato kugel cholent there's a great one that yo'ma posted a few years ago from bina. But yapsuk is polish cholent with shredded potatoes, no eggs.

What kind of meats would work best? Can I use chopped meat?

I like chuck meat. But you can use the standard cholent meat you use during the year.

I wouldn't use ground meat. But you don't have to use a lot of meat.

Thanks! One more question- the original recipe said grated onions and potatoes. Should just the onions be grated or the potatoes as well?

Both. Keep the layers separate.

Do you have proportions for this recipe?

Use about 1 potato per adult you'll be serving. It needs lots of salt on top.

Approx how much salt per potato? And how many onions?

About 1 tsp salt and 1/2 a small onion for each big loose Idaho /Russet potato. But for onions use as many as you like in your potato kugel. Also if you're making a big yapsuk use less salt and onion per potato, as when you multiply recipes you don't multiply all the seasonings too or it will be too potent.
