Corned Beef and Creamer Potatoes is a fabulously easy recipe to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. The beef, potatoes, onions, and garlic cook to perfection in the slow cooker. Creamer potatoes are small and white, with thin skins. They become very creamy when cooked; thus their name! Just add peas and some homemade Irish Soda Bread for a complete and wonderful meal.

Wash potatoes gently; leave whole. Place in 5 quart slow cooker with onions and garlic. Top with the corned beef and sprinkle with seasoning packet. Pour chicken broth over all.

In small bowl, combine water, brown sugar, and vinegar. Microwave on high for 1 minute or until sugar dissolves. Stir and pour into slow cooker. Spread mustard over the beef.
