Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Potatoes are perfectly seasoned potato wedges that turn out creamy on the inside!
There are a few things I don’t cook in the slow cooker (raw pasta and raw rice), but when I think of that limitation, I always think of how many ways potatoes can be made in the slow cooker instead!
These Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Potatoes come together in just minutes and cook up tender and flavorful. They’re packed with garlic, herbs, and cheese—perfect as an easy accompaniment for any meal.
Key Ingredients
- Red Potatoes: Cut into wedges.
- Olive oil: Extra virgin works best.
- Garlic: Fresh minced garlic or jarred.
- Seasonings: Salt, pepper, thyme and oregano. You can also use Italian seasoning if you have that on hand.
- Parmesan cheese: I use Kraft cheese in a shaker bottle but I have also used. Shredded parmesan works well too.
How to Make Crockpot Potatoes
- Cut the potatoes and toss them into the slow cooker.
- Mix the seasonings with olive oil and garlic.
- Coat the potatoes with the mixture and sprinkle with parmesan.
- Cover and cook until tender, then finish with extra cheese if you like.
Substitution Tricks
- For a different flavor profile, omit all the seasonings (except the garlic) and use a Cajun seasoning such as Tony Chachere’s! (Or try my Slow Cooker Cajun Potatoes Recipe.
- Use melted butter if you don’t have olive oil.
- You can use Yukon gold or Russet with the same results. The seasoning mixture can also be used with baby potatoes or fingerlings.
What should I serve with these?
These slow cooker potatoes make a versatile side dish and pair perfectly with a variety of main courses.
For a backyard cookout, try serving them alongside grilled burgers or steaks—the garlic and cheese add a flavorful contrast to smoky grilled meats.
They also go great with hearty slow cooker favorites. Try them with Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes for a casual dinner, or alongside Slow Cooker Pot Roast for a cozy, comforting meal. They’re a tasty match for Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches or Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches as well.
If you’re looking to round out your plate with more sides, try Slow Cooker Creamed Corn or Slow Cooker Collard Greens.
