Slow Cooker Garlic Red Potatoes

I’ve mentioned before that my smoke alarms in my house are… sensitive. If I roast anything in the oven, they tend to go off. So when possible, I try to find alternate means to cook my food. In the summer, that means a ton of grilling. And as the weather cools off, my slow cooker becomes my best friend!

My latest Hungry Harvest (note: this is a referral link) included 2 pounds of red potatoes, so I wanted to try cooking the potatoes in my slow cooker.

This recipe for Slow Cooker Garlic Red Potatoes works well as a side to a recipe that already is using up your oven, like a roast turkey or chicken. It’s also a good option for a night that you can set the slow cooker in the early afternoon, and let it do its thing while you go about your day. When it’s dinner time, your side is all set, and you can quickly whip up a seafood dish, or sautéed chicken in no time!

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
• 2 lbs red potatoes, cut into bit sized pieces
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Note: My slow cooker allows me to saute right in the slow cooker, so my photos reflect that. However, the directions are written in case you have a traditional slow cooker.

Add the 1 tablespoon olive oil and 4 tablespoons butter to a small pot over medium-high heat. (If your slow cooker allows, turn the slow cooker to stovetop high and add the olive oil and butter.)

When the butter is melted, add in the minced garlic cloves and shallot. Cook, stirring occasionally until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Add the potatoes to your slow cooker. Drizzle the butter mixture over the potatoes, tossing to coat. (If you cooked the butter mixture in your slow cooker, toss the potatoes in the mixture to coat.)

Season with the salt and pepper.

Turn your slow cooker to HIGH and cover. Cook for 3-4 hours, stirring half way through, if possible.

These turned out so tender! There is no better combination than butter, garlic, and onions. These potatoes taste SO good!

This recipe is also a great make ahead recipe. You could make these over the weekend and reheat on a busy weeknight for a super quick side.
