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.

      I never realized that you could cook in slow cooker without liquid.I thought you always had to use liquid.WOW there is so much I can do with slow cooker now.I feel like such a dummy and sad as to all the things I could have made over the years with slow cooker this way.

      I would like to take these to a family get together. Do you think if I cooked this ahead of time and left crockpot on warm till we were ready to eat, that the potatoes would still be as yummy?

      What exactly is going to happen if the lid is opened during cooking time? I ask because my slow cooker get hotter and cooks faster than my last one did and I’ll need to check it to be sure they don’t burn to the bottom.

        They may take longer to cook if you take the lid off. Potatoes are the hardest thing to soften in the slow cooker.

      Can you double this recipe ? Would it add cooking time ?

        You can double this. You’ll probably need to add an hour cook time. Keep the lid on.

      Can you add bacon? Would uncooked bacon work or wait till end and add cooked bacon for about 1/2 Hr?

        Uncooked bacon in the slow cooker does not add flavor just adds a greasy lard flavor. I would add cooked bacon at the beginning or add when serving.

      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.

          Drape a towel over the top then put the lid on. 🙂

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