Here’s a simple and flavorful Slow Cooker Italian Herb Potatoes recipe—perfectly tender and infused with herbs:
Slow Cooker Italian Herb Potatoes (Serves 4–6)
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes, halved or quartered
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
- Prep the potatoes:
- Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Transfer to slow cooker:
- Place the seasoned potatoes in the slow cooker.
- Stir to coat evenly.
- Cook:
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Optional finishing touches:
- Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a few halved cherry tomatoes or sliced onions to cook alongside the potatoes.
- You can also toss in cooked Italian sausage or chicken pieces for a full meal.
I can also give a crispier slow-cooker version that gives the potatoes a roasted-like texture without using the oven.
Do you want me to share that version too?
