Here’s a simple and delicious way to make slow cooker potatoes—perfect as a side dish or even a comfort meal.
🥔 Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Potatoes
Ingredients
- 1.5–2 kg potatoes (baby potatoes or chopped large ones)
- 3–4 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika (optional)
- 1 tsp dried herbs (like thyme or oregano)
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the potatoes
Wash and cut into bite-sized pieces (no need to peel unless you want to). - Make the butter mix
Melt butter and mix with garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and herbs. - Combine in slow cooker
Toss potatoes with the butter mixture until well coated. - Cook
- Low: 6–7 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
Stir once or twice if possible.
- Finish & serve
Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
🔥 Optional Add-ins
- Cheese (add in last 20–30 mins)
- Chicken or beef cubes for a full meal
- Cream for a richer texture
Tips
- Don’t add too much liquid—potatoes release moisture on their own
- For crispy edges, spread cooked potatoes on a tray and broil for 5–10 mins
