So, in this recipe I have listed it that you can put the meat and potatoes together all at once in the basin and cook them at the same time. That is good for when you want the slow cooker to be simplified to its fullest in its slow cooker glory. NOW, I will say even thought you can cook the carrots and potatoes right in with the roast, I have sometimes separated them out for a different texture. Meaning the meat still is cooked in the slow cooker and then I roast the carrots and potatoes. When time allows.
