Here’s a cozy, no-fuss slow cooker potato dish that turns simple baby potatoes into a rich, comforting side (or light main).
🥔 Slow Cooker Herb Butter Baby Potatoes
🛒 Ingredients
- 2 lbs baby potatoes (washed, halved if large)
- 3 tbsp melted butter (or olive oil)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme (or Italian seasoning)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
🥣 The “1 Mixture”
In a small bowl, mix:
- Melted butter
- Garlic
- Thyme
- Salt
- Pepper
- Broth
Stir well.
🔥 How to Cook
- Place baby potatoes into the slow cooker.
- Drizzle the entire butter-herb mixture over the potatoes.
- Toss gently to coat.
- Cover and cook:
- Low: 4–5 hours
- High: 2–3 hours
Potatoes are done when fork-tender.
✨ Optional Finish
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley
- Add grated parmesan
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice for brightness
💡 Make It a Heartier Dinner
Add one of these before cooking:
- Chicken thighs
- Smoked sausage slices
- Green beans or carrots
Everything cooks together beautifully.
If you’d like, I can give you a creamy ranch version or a crispy garlic butter finish trick that makes them taste oven-roasted even from a slow cooker.
