3 ham hocks
1-1/2 pounds new potatoes, quartered
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder

Place beans in a slow cooker with water to barely cover. Set slow cooker on high and add onion and ham hocks.
Once mixture is simmering, set heat to medium and let cook for 2 hours, or until beans are crisp but not done.
Add potatoes and cook for another 45 minutes, or until tender. While they are cooking, remove ham hocks from cooker and remove meat from bones; chop or shred meat and return to slow cooker. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt, bouillon and pepper. Cook until potatoes are done, then adjust seasoning to taste.
