Instructions
Prep your potatoes by thoroughly washing them, cubing into relatively equal sized chunks, and then place them at the bottom of your slow cooker.
Pour the extra virgin olive oil (or melted bacon grease), melted butter, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, onion powder (or dried minced onion), salt, pepper, and paprika on top of the potatoes.
Use a wooden spoon to stir the ingredients until they are well combined.
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.
Once your potatoes are fork-tender, remove them from the Crock Pot and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until well combined. Top your potatoes with the chives or parsley as a garnish, if using. Serve immediately.
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.
To store: Place any leftover roasted potatoes in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
To reheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Reheat your leftovers 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.
