Ingredients
- Red potatoes- You could also use Russets, but red potatoes hold up much better in this recipe.
- Olive oil- Other neutral-flavored oils will work as well if you prefer.
- Salt, pepper, garlic salt, Cajun seasoning, and paprika
How to make
Wash the potatoes, remove any large eyes, and cut into 1-inch pieces. If you want to peel the potatoes, you can do this, but I prefer them with the skins on. Place the potatoes into the slow cooker.
Drizzle the oil and sprinkle the seasoning on top of the potatoes. Mix the potatoes with a rubber spatula until they are well coated and all the seasoning is distributed.
Cover and set it to cook on high for 4 hours and low for 6 hours.
Once the potatoes are tender, they are ready to serve.
Top tips
- Be sure not to cut your potatoes larger than 1-inch. Or if you do, just know that the cooking time will be longer.
- Sliced onions add another flavor dimension to this dish. I like to slice about 2 cups of onions, don’t worry, they shrink a lot into the slow cooker with everything else.
- For the last 2 hours, you can also add in 1 cup frozen peas as well. What is better than potatoes and peas?
- These slow cooker potatoes make great meal prep as well. Once they have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container for up to 7 days in the fridge.
