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.
How to make Cajun Parmesan Potatoes in the slow cooker.
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!

Slow Cooker Cajun Parmesan Potatoes
Equipment Needed:
- Slow Cooker – 5 quart or larger
Ingredients:
- 3 lbs. russet potatoes
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. dried thyme
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, divided (I use Kraft grated)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/8 cup water
Instructions:
- Wash and dry the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into wedges. My potatoes were on the small size, I cut them into eighths. If your potatoes are very large, you may need to cut them into smaller pieces.
- Mix the seasonings in a small bowl, mix. Pour the seasonings, olive oil, and half of the cheese on top of the potatoes. Stir.
- Sprinkle over the remaining parmesan cheese and pour the water in with the potatoes.
- Cover and cook on high for 4.5 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
- Serve and enjoy!

Hi Diane, It’s there at the bottom of the post. Let me know if you still can’t find it.
Another great recipe! Thank you so much! 🙂
Do you peel the potatoes or leave skin on?
I leave them on
Do you think this recipe would work in an jnstapot?
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.
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!
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 like being stuck in the kitchen every now and then.
