Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Potatoes are perfectly seasoned potato wedges that turn out creamy on the inside!
We love making these potatoes long with horseradish pot roast and freshly steamed vegetables.
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 how many ways potatoes can be made in the slow cooker instead!
These Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Potatoes only take a few minutes to prepare and then four hours to cook in the slow cooker. When they are done cooking you won’t believe how creamy the potatoes are. They make a great side dish.
How to make Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Potatoes:
- Red Potatoes: Cut into wedges
- Olive oil: Extra virgin works best. Use melted butter if you don’t have olive oil.
- Garlic: Fresh minced or jarred
- Seasonings: salt, pepper, thyme and oregano
- Parmesan cheese: I use Kraft cheese in a shaker bottle but I have also used shredded parmesan and that works great too.
How long do I cook?
- Place the lid on the slow cooker.
- Cook on HIGH for 4 hours or until tender.
Can I use a different type of potato?
Yes! You can use Yukon gold, or Russet with the same results.
What should I serve with these?
- Grilled burgers or steaks
- Sloppy Joes
- Slow Cooker Horseradish Pot Roast
- Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches
- Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches
