    Did you know you can make roasted potatoes in your slow cooker? Just 5 simple ingredients and 10 minutes to assemble and you can come home to this delicious side dish!
    seasoned baby potatoes in slow cookerI'm not always the best at posting side dishes because I usually want things that can be thrown together in minutes and that don't add any stress to my day.

    These potatoes are perfect as a side for everything from pork chops to meatloaf.

    These potatoes utilize ingredients you likely have on hand in your pantry and can be an easy side dish for a weeknight family meal or a get together.

    How do you Roast Potatoes in the Slow Cooker:

    • Wash and dry the potatoes
    • If small, leave whole and pierce each potato with a fork
    • Add to bowl and toss with olive oil and seasonings to coat
    • Add to slow cooker, cover and cook on high or low depending on how much time you have

    Other Recipe Notes:

    • If using full size potatoes, cut into large chunks for quicker roasting or follow my Slow Cooker Baked Potato recipe instead
    • Feel free to swap out the dill for another herb like rosemary or thyme to switch up the flavors
    • I don't suggest using russet potatoes for this recipe as they will become mealy/mushy - instead stick to gold or red potatoes or baby potatoes
    • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in fridge for up to 3 days
    • I don't recommend freezing leftovers as potatoes will discolor when frozen
    • I don't recommend prepping ahead as potatoes will brown

      I had no idea that my slow cooker on high could actually do such a good job on roasting mini potatoes! I was using one-bite potatoes, cooked them for one hour on high and about an hour and a half on low. They were still sizzling when I took them out, and they were delicious. Cutting them in the garlic, salt and pepper, and herbs was a great touch.this recipe is a definite keeper.

        Could you substitute garlic salt only?

      in going to quadruple this recipe for a cookout. Do you think the time to cook will be similar or should I anticipate longer? Thanks! Can't wait to try it!

        It may take a little longer but it will mostly depend on the size of your potatoes and how full your slow cooker is.

      Fantastic! I used 1/2 tsp Rosemary, 1/2 tsp thyme for herbs and also added 3 cloves of fresh garlic, peeled and crushed slightly. Over the moon!!!

        Did you use fresh or dried herbs? Wondering if it's 1/2 teas each or dried? Also, when did you add the garlic?

      Thanks for the recipe. 5 months into a full kitchen remodel, so the crockpot has been used extensively. I just wish I could have found your blog sooner.
      This is super simple, has great taste! I have made it a few times now and for a little kick have even added fresh garlic and parm cheese in the end! Looking forward to trying more sides
