Description

This Slow Cooker Potatoes recipe offers an easy and flavorful way to prepare tender baby potatoes infused with garlic, onion, and rosemary. Perfect as a comforting side dish, these potatoes are slow-cooked to perfection with butter and broth, making them rich yet simple to prepare.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 4 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered (depending on size)

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or thyme)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Liquids and Fats

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Place the halved or quartered baby potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker, ensuring an even layer for uniform cooking.
  2. Add Seasonings and Butter: Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper evenly over the potatoes. Then distribute the cubed unsalted butter on top.
  3. Pour Broth: Carefully pour the chicken broth or vegetable broth over the potatoes and seasonings, which will keep the potatoes moist while cooking.
  4. Cook Potatoes: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Stir Halfway: If possible, gently stir the potatoes halfway through the cooking process to help distribute the seasonings and moisture evenly.
  6. Final Stir and Garnish: Once the potatoes are cooked, give them a quick stir to combine flavors. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired for a bright, fresh touch.
  7. Serve: Serve the warm, flavorful slow-cooked potatoes as a comforting side dish with your favorite main courses.

Notes

  • You can substitute dried rosemary with thyme for a different but equally delicious flavor profile.
  • For a vegetarian or vegan option, use vegetable broth and substitute butter with olive oil or vegan butter.
  • Stirring halfway through cooking helps with even seasoning but can be skipped if you cannot open the slow cooker.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to taste preferences.
  • Baby potatoes do not need peeling and cook evenly due to their small size.
