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.

      I’ve used this recipe a few times and it is great. I love potatoes. If you really want to try something crazy, using the crockpot, cut up the potatoes and cook them in two bottles of the buffalo wild wings parmesan sauce.

      My slow cooker cooked them fully after 3 hrs, I found that they needed a little more salt.

      I like this recipe for this reason; many people believe a slow cooker must be filled with water, or broth, or soup in order to cook. This is not so, and it can act just like an oven with ingredients not soaking in some kind of liquid. When people realize this, it makes their slow cooker much more useable for so many more foods.

      Made these tonight with approximate quantities and fresh Parmesan all stirred in. Did not utilise the tea towel method. Did not add additional Parmesan. They were absolutely delicious, served with pan fried sea bass and a simple salad. Highly recommend.

      Anyone have success doubling the recipe? Would it just need to cook longer or is it best to stick to the amount indicated? Thanks!

        I don’t see why not. I think it will take about 8 hours on low, maybe longer.

      Super! I tried these yesterday as written. Mine didn’t take long, maybe two hours but I used far less potatoes than called for. A real keeper and so easy! Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe!

      I have made these potatoes twice and they are truly yummy! It is just my husband and myself so I cut the recipe in half. My potatoes were perfect after 3 hours on high. I cook a lot in the slow cooker and I don’t always have success with some recipes, but these were perfect – thank you for the never fail recipe!

      I prepped this up the night before, super easy! Added all my ingredients, made sure to coat potatoes with olive oil thoroughly. I also added onions as I love both potatoes and onions! Both being one of my favorite foods, I salted and put in a bowl and let them sit in the fridge soaking up all the flavors overnight. Salt draws out water so I did have some juices at the bottom of my bowl when pouring into my crockpot. They are currently cooking and I’m eager to see the results! They smell absolutely phenomenal! Will post update and rate once done! Happy cooking everyone! 🙂

        depends on the size of the potato. I usually do 6-8.
