I only ever use high on my slow cooker then I'll turn it down to low if I need to. I'd put them all in together. If you're worried about the chicken drying out, dont worry it won't. Potato can take forever to cook particularly if you choose to cook it on low.

Low - approx 94°c

High - approx 149°c

Actually I'd leave the potato out and boil it separately and add it in later then you'll know it's cooked for sure.

I didnt factor in how cold the carrot and potato would be in reducing the temp so I've cranked it to high just before i put the veg in. I might just leave it on high and see how we go.

That's the way!

Brushed potato takes longer to cook than some other potatoes and of course it also depends on the size they're cut too and the age of the potato.
