    We love potatoes no matter how they are prepared like my Twice Baked Potatoes, Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, or my Air Fryer Crispy Potatoes. A potato side dish in our home always gets devoured and these easy crock pot potatoes were a hit!

    Why this recipe works

    These slow cooker potatoes are great when you're low on oven space. Super easy to prepare using simple ingredients like my Slow Cooker Cheesy Potatoes.

    Ingredients Needed

    All the ingredients needed for this recipe.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Baby potatoes: Small red potatoes or small Yukon gold potatoes or a combination, even fingerling potatoes work great in the recipe. You can also use larger potatoes you just need to cut them down to about 1-inch in size.
    • Garlic: Fresh Garlic cloves are always best but in a pinch, you can use garlic powder.
    • Butter: Either Salted or unsalted works.
    • Parmesan: I always recommend freshly grated parmesan cheese located in the deli section of your grocery store.
    • Fresh Herbs: I use rosemary and thyme but you can use dried Italian seasoning if you prefer.

    Recipe Faq's

    How long do potatoes take to soften in a slow cooker?

    All slow cookers cook slightly differently. But generally, potatoes will be fork tender cooking on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours.

    What's the difference between creamer potatoes and baby potatoes?

    Creamer potatoes are very young, small tender potatoes, they can be round or slightly oval and any variety. Baby potatoes are just small potatoes that are harvested before they get too large sometimes called new potatoes. Both are great options for this parmesan potatoes recipe.

    What should I do with leftovers?

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Chop any leftover garlic potatoes up and add them to Breakfast Burritos, Potato Soup, or even Corn Chowder.

    Variations for slow cooker potatoes

    1. Add in some sweet potatoes just make sure they are cut to all be the same size.
    2. Throw in some baby carrots or onions to cook with the potatoes.

    4. Add a little heat with a pinch or two of red pepper flakes.

    Can these be made in the oven?

    Yes, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and bake for about 1 hour or until tender. Make sure you stir them about halfway through.
