Prep Time, Cook Time, Total Time

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 3 hours on high or 5 to 6 hours on low
Total Time: About 3 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds small Yukon Gold or red potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 half teaspoon salt
  • 1 half teaspoon pepper
  • 1 third cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese plus extra for serving
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Step By Step Instructions

Below are the detailed beginner friendly steps to create rich, tender, perfectly seasoned potatoes.

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

Cut the larger potatoes in half and keep the tiny ones whole. Lightly grease a 6 quart slow cooker and place the potatoes inside in an even layer.

Step 2: Add Seasonings and Parmesan

Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, dried dill, salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes.

Step 3: Pour Garlic Butter Mixture

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, and minced garlic. Pour this mixture evenly over the potatoes so all pieces get coated.

Step 4: Slow Cook Until Tender

Place the lid on the slow cooker. Cook on high for about 3 hours or on low for 5 to 6 hours. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your slow cooker. Potatoes are ready when fork tender and soft.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and additional Parmesan before serving.

Pro Tips

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan instead of bottled parmesan for better melting and richer flavor.
  • Do not skip the oil because it prevents the potatoes from drying out in the slow cooker.
  • If you want the potatoes spicy, add crushed red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne before cooking.
  • For a crispier finish, broil cooked potatoes in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Use small baby potatoes for even cooking and perfect tenderness.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Potatoes pair exceptionally well with many main dishes. Ideal pairings include:

  • Roasted or baked chicken
  • Grilled or pan seared steak
  • Pork chops or pork tenderloin
  • Baked salmon or any mild fish
  • Meatloaf, especially classic savory styles
  • Holiday meals including turkey, ham, or prime rib

These potatoes also work beautifully as a hearty addition to brunch menus when served with scrambled eggs, omelets, or breakfast sausage.
