🔪 How To Make Slow Cooker Roasted Potatoes

It can't get any easier than prepping your potatoes, adding ingredients, and letting your slow cooker do the work for you! You will need a slow cooker, some measuring spoons, a large mixing bowl, and a wooden spoon to get started.

4-5 Russet potatoes are approximately equal to 6 servings! There's plenty for the whole family to enjoy.

  1. Prep potatoes. Prep your 2 pounds of potatoes by thoroughly washing them, cubing them into relatively equal-sized chunks, then place them in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Add ingredients. Pour the extra virgin 2 tablespoons of olive oil (or melted bacon grease), 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, ½ teaspoon of dried oregano, ½ teaspoon of dried basil, 1 teaspoon of onion powder (or dried minced onion), ¼ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika on top of the potatoes.
  3. Stir. Use a wooden spoon to stir the ingredients until they are well combined.
  4. Cook. Cover with lid and turn the slow cooker on and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours. *Stir the potatoes occasionally to keep the seasoning from burning.
  5. Transfer. Once your potatoes are fork-tender, remove them from the Crock Pot and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
  6. Serve. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until well combined. Top your potatoes with the chives or parsley as a garnish, if using. Serve immediately.

These delicious and tender potatoes make a wonderful addition to just about any meal! I love serving them with a baked T-bone steak and bacon-wrapped asparagus! Enjoy!

💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

  • 4 to 5 Russet potatoes are approximately equal to 2 to 2 ½ pounds.
  • In place of the dried oregano and dried basil, you can use 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
  • I recommend keeping the potato peels on because the skin will help lock in moisture.
  • If you are choosing to cook on the low setting, check your potatoes at the 4th hour to see if a fork will slide out smoothly. If so, your potatoes are done. Make sure to not overcook the potatoes or they will dry out and wither.
  • Occasionally stir throughout the cooking process so that the minced garlic doesn't stick to the bottom of your slow cooker.
  • You can use the juices at the bottom to drizzle on top when you are serving for extra flavor.

🥡 Storing & Reheating

Place any leftover roasted potatoes in a seal-able container, then store them in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Reheating Slow Cooker Roasted Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Reheat your leftover roasted potatoes in a baking dish for 10-12 minutes or until they are heated to your liking. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the microwave in 30-second increments at a time.

❓ Recipe FAQs

Why Are My Roasted Potatoes Tough?

If your roasted potatoes turn out tough, you most likely cooked them too long. When you're cooking on low or high use a fork to pierce the potatoes, when your fork slides out smoothly, your potatoes are ready to serve.

What Can I Serve These Roasted Potatoes With?

Roasted potatoes pair well with many different dishes! You can serve these delicious potatoes with your favorite proteins like fish, pork, ham, chicken, beef, lamb, and venison! Try serving them with my grilled swordfish, pan-seared pork chops, honey-baked ham, grilled chicken thighs, grilled beef heart steaks, lamb meatballs, or my venison tenderloin roast!

Can I Use A Different Type Of Potato In This Roasted Potato Recipe?

Yes! Although I recommend using Russet potatoes in this recipe, you can use gemstone potatoes, red potatoes, Yukon gold potatoes, or fingerling potatoes if you'd like.
