Slow Cooker Roast Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (about 1 kg) baby potatoes, washed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half. If using larger potatoes, cut them into quarters to ensure even cooking.
- Season the Potatoes:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
- Slow Cook:
- Transfer the seasoned potatoes to the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on the LOW setting for 4-5 hours, or until the potatoes are tender. If you prefer a slightly crispier texture, you can cook them on HIGH for 2-3 hours.
- Finish and Serve:
- Once the potatoes are cooked, you can sprinkle some fresh parsley on top for a burst of color and added flavor.
- Serve the roast potatoes hot as a side dish.
Tips:
- For extra crispy potatoes, you can transfer them to a baking sheet and place them under the broiler for a few minutes after they are done cooking in the slow cooker.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste. Adding a pinch of cayenne pepper can give the potatoes a slight kick.
- These roast potatoes pair well with a variety of main dishes, from roast chicken to grilled steak.
