Slow Cooker Potatoes
Ingredients
- 2–3 lbs small red or Yukon gold potatoes, cut into halves or quarters
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried rosemary or thyme (optional)
- ½ cup chopped onion (optional)
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions, or bacon bits
Instructions
1. Prepare the Potatoes
- Wash and cut potatoes into evenly sized pieces for even cooking.
- Toss with olive oil or butter, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs.
2. Add to Slow Cooker
- Place potatoes (and onion if using) in the slow cooker.
- Stir to coat everything evenly.
3. Cook
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are fork-tender.
4. Serve
- Serve as-is, or top with shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions, or crispy bacon bits.
Tips
- For crispy edges, transfer cooked potatoes to a baking sheet and broil 3–5 minutes before serving.
- Use baby potatoes for a quicker cook time.
- You can also add carrots, bell peppers, or mushrooms to make it a roasted veggie medley.
