Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Potatoes are perfectly seasoned potato wedges that turn out creamy on the inside!

These potatoes are great in place of baked potatoes when you are looking for something different. We love making these potatoes long with horseradish pot roast and freshly steamed vegetable.

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.

      Hello, If I halved this recipe what do you think the cook time would be? Would it change?

        Maybe a half hour less. Potatoes take quit a bit of time to soften in the slow cooker.

      Was anxious about this as no water just oil and so few ingredients but they cooked perfectly and tasted great. Highly recommend.

      Can you use frozen potato wedges.

        No, those will have a grainy texture and would taste much better crisped in the oven.

      Any advice about freezing these after? I would love to buy a bag of potatoes, cook them before they go bad and then freeze portions for later.

        Potatoes don’t do well in the freezer after being thawed. At least that’s my experience.

      Hi! Just wondering if I make a double batch would you cook longer? I would cut them in half…

        Probably an hour longer. Try to keep the lid on the entire time.

      I haven’t tried this recipe yet, but I have no doubt that it is good. I have not cooked any one of your recipes that was not delicious.

      Can this be done in the instant pot?
      If so how long?
      Would it be the same steps?

        You’d have to add more liquid for it to work. I don’t know how long, you’d have to test that.

      Can you double this recipe in a 6 quart crockpot? If I am using small red round potatoes should I just cut them in half? Does the type of olive oil matter extra-virgin etc.? I will try with a 10 minute on Saturday thanks for the inspiration!

        Extra virgin will work best. Yes, you can double, I would cut them in half.

      This sounds delicious! I don’t have thyme or parsley, could I omit all dry seasonings (except cheese) and use a pkg. of garlic & herb salad dressing mix?

        Yes! That will work well. Let me know how it turns out.
