This slow cooker 3-ingredient poor man’s potato and canned sardines dish is the kind of humble, stick-to-your-ribs food my grandfather swore by during hard times. It’s built from pantry basics, costs very little, and still manages to taste unbelievably rich thanks to the natural oils from the sardines soaking into the tender potatoes and onions.
Rustic bowl of potato and sardine stew on a kitchen table
Everything simmers low and slow into a rustic, brothy stew that feels comforting and filling, the sort of meal you can put on in the morning and forget about until dinnertime.
Serve this straight from the slow cooker while it’s hot, with some crusty bread or toast to soak up the flavorful oily broth. A simple side of canned green beans, frozen peas, or a basic green salad adds a little color and freshness to the plate.

If you have it, a squeeze of lemon over each bowl brightens the rich sardine flavor, and a sprinkle of black pepper or dried herbs on top makes it feel just a bit more dressed up without adding much cost.
