These Slow Cooker Cajun Parmesan Potatoes are tender and have great spice!
The slow cooker is amazing for making side dishes, especially potatoes. These Slow Cooker Cajun Parmesan Potatoes remind of what we call in Oregon, jo-jo’s. My second helping of these I ate them with ranch, SOO good with the spices and parmesan.
I start with russet potatoes that I cut into wedges. Then I add a homemade seasoning mixture, olive oil and parmesan cheese. I also add a touch of water to keep the potatoes from getting too dry in the slow cooker.
These potatoes are great with just about anything! Steak or chicken would be great.
I hope you enjoy this recipe and have a great week! I have so many great recipes coming soon for you!

I like being stuck in the kitchen every now and then.
Would they be OK to cook on low for 7-8 hours? Or would that have some effect on the finished product?
I’m thinking 7 hours would be the max, you’d have to test it. I don’t know if there is enough liquid for 8 hours.
I made this today after seeing it in my Google News feed (apparently I search for slow cooker stuff a lot haha). It was soooooo delicious! I followed your directions exactly and it came out great. I’ll be serving these with dinner tonight and I’m sure they’ll be a hit. Thanks for sharing!
Delicious! I had russets and they worked fine. I also double layered the potatoes. It was a perfect accompaniment to the ham we had a dinner.
Made those today. The flavour was really good. I cut my potatoes smaller. After the slow cooker I put them in the oven because the potato was hard and wanted to crisp them… the potato would not soften!!! Next time I’ll do them in the oven.
Do you think this recipe would work in an jnstapot?
