Slow Cooker Roast Potatoes Recipe

Potatoes are one of the most versatile and beloved ingredients in the culinary world. They can be mashed, fried, boiled, baked, and roasted in countless ways. One of the easiest and most delicious ways to cook potatoes is by using a slow cooker. Slow cooker roast potatoes are an effortless and tasty side dish that requires minimal prep time and delivers maximum flavor. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at how to make this dish, the ingredients needed, how to serve it, and some helpful cook notes.

Ingredients

• Piper potatoes
• Onion salt
• Garlic granules
• Dried rosemary
• Olive oil

Instructions

1. Start by pouring the olive oil into the slow cooker and turn it onto the “high” setting. Leave this to heat up while you prepare and par-boil the potatoes. You want the oil to be hot by the time you put the potatoes into the slow cooker. This should take about 20 minutes.
2. Peel the potatoes and chop them into thirds or quarters, depending on how big the potatoes are.
3. Par-boil the chopped potatoes in a saucepan for around 10 minutes. You don’t want to cook them until they are completely cooked, just enough to soften them slightly.
4. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then put them back in the saucepan, put the lid on, and give the saucepan a little shake. This helps to fluff up the outside of the potatoes, which gives you the crunchy and crispy crust.
5. Leave the potatoes to cool slightly, then place them into the slow cooker with the onion salt, garlic granules, and dried rosemary, and give it a good stir.
6. Place a clean, dry tea towel over the top of the slow cooker, then place the lid on top of the tea towel. Wrap the sides of the tea towel that are hanging out, up onto the lid.
7. Cook on high for around three hours, turning the potatoes every hour.
