Here’s a simple and tasty way to make slow cooker potatoes:
Ingredients:
- 2–3 lbs (900–1350 g) small potatoes, halved or quartered if large
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: ½ cup chicken or vegetable broth for extra flavor
Instructions:
- Prep the potatoes: Wash and cut potatoes evenly.
- Season: Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Place in slow cooker: Spread potatoes evenly. Pour broth over them if using.
- Cook:
- Low for 6–7 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until tender.
- Optional finishing touch: For crispy edges, spread cooked potatoes on a baking sheet and broil for 5–7 minutes.
These are perfect as a side dish with roasted meats, stews, or even on their own with a dollop of sour cream.
If you want, I can give a creamy slow cooker version that turns the potatoes almost into a mash while cooking. Do you want me to do that?
