Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Potatoes

Rinse and cut potatoes into even pieces (so they cook uniformly).

Pat dry—this helps them absorb flavor better.

2. Season Generously

In a large bowl, toss potatoes with melted butter, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

3. Slow Cook to Perfection

Transfer to a greased 4–6 quart slow cooker.

Cover and cook on:

LOW for 6–7 hours (best for creamy, intact potatoes)

HIGH for 3–4 hours (if short on time)

✨ Don’t stir! Let them cook undisturbed for best texture.

4. Serve Warm

Gently toss before serving.

Optional: Sprinkle with Parmesan, fresh parsley, or a squeeze of lemon.

Serving Suggestions & Pro Tips

Classic pairings: Roast chicken, meatloaf, grilled salmon, or holiday turkey

Make it a meal: Top with a fried egg and sautéed greens for a hearty vegetarian bowl

Crisp them up: Broil for 3–5 minutes before serving for golden edges

Storage: Keeps 3–4 days in the fridge (reheat gently—don’t microwave too long)

Freezer-friendly? Not ideal—potatoes become watery when thawed

FAQs: Your Questions, Answered

Q: Can I use frozen potatoes?

A: Not recommended—they’ll turn mushy. Fresh is best.

Q: Why are my potatoes still hard?

A: Cut pieces too large, or slow cooker runs cool. Ensure potatoes are <2" wide.

Q: Can I add onions or carrots?

A: Yes! Add 1 sliced onion or 1 cup baby carrots with the potatoes.

Q: What if I don’t have fresh herbs?

A: Use dried—but reduce amount by ⅓ (dried herbs are more concentrated).

Q: Can I make these ahead?

A: Yes! Cook, then reheat on LOW for 1 hour before serving.
