💚 Why You'll Love This Recipe

Quick, easy, and so tasty, these crock pot potatoes are sure to become a new favorite side dish! Thanks to the slow cooker, baby potatoes get nice and tender and cook all on their own so you can focus on your main course.

Slow cooking the potatoes frees up oven space, so this is an easy side dish with simple ingredients that's great for a holiday feast. Best of all, this dish is majorly customizable! Switch up the seasonings to your liking and create the perfect side for any meal.

I love making potatoes to pair with a hearty entree--for example, my Garlic and Rosemary Potatoes or these Crispy Sauteed Potatoes. They always hit the spot, and this is a perfect side dish for a filling and nutritious treat that the whole family will love!

🧂 Ingredients Needed

• baby potatoes - tasty and bite-sized, I like to use a mix of varieties for a bit of subtle flavor complexity.
• butter - I prefer to start with unsalted butter and add salt to my potatoes as I need.
• minced garlic - fresh garlic cloves will have the most pungent flavor, but feel free to use jarred garlic for a shortcut.
• seasonings - I use a mixture of dried dill, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

❔ FAQs

💭 Expert Tips and Tricks

• Pat the potatoes dry with some paper towels. Removing moisture will lead to a more crisp exterior.
• Use the freshest herbs and spices possible for best results and best flavor.
• I like to leave the skins on the potatoes for some added fiber and a bit of earthy flavor.
• If you're using fresh dill, you'll have to use more. Dried herbs tend to have a more concentrated flavor than fresh herbs.
• Garnish with some sprigs of fresh rosemary or chopped parsley.
• Test the potatoes at the end of cooking and add an extra shake of pepper or salt to taste.

📌 It's so easy to make roasted potatoes in the crock pot! These tender and flavorful slow cooker potatoes are ideal for a delicious side dish that will instantly improve any comfort food main dish.

💡 Substitutions and Variations

• If you can't find baby potatoes, you can also take red potatoes and cut them into bite sized chunks.
• Add other vegetables like baby carrots or green beans for some extra nutrition and flavor.
• Try a different combination of seasonings. Smoked paprika, garlic powder and onion powder, or even a packet of ranch seasoning are all fantastic options. For some heat, add chipotle powder, cayenne pepper, or red pepper flakes.
• You can use olive oil instead of butter. I like the nice rich flavor the butter provides, but any kind of oil will produce the same crispy outsides.

🥫 Storage and Reheating

Allow your slow cooker potatoes to fully cool, then transfer to an airtight container or zip top bag and store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. You can also freeze these potatoes for several months. Allow frozen potatoes to thaw before reheating.

To reheat, cook them in a skillet on the stovetop with a little bit of oil, spread them out on a baking sheet and reheat in the oven, or microwave them if you need them quickly. Just be aware the microwave will yield potatoes on the mushy side.

🍴 What To Serve With This Dish

These roasted crock pot potatoes make the perfect companion to a wide variety of hearty, savory main courses. Serve them alongside Cilantro Lime Chicken or Sheet Pan Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs and Veggies, or pair with a One Skillet Stuffed Cabbage Casserole!
