    This EASIEST Slow Cooker Roasted Potatoes Recipe is your go-to for a simple yet delicious side dish. With minimal prep and the slow cooker doing all the work, these potatoes come out perfectly every time. Just set it and forget it, and you'll have tasty roasted potatoes ready to enjoy.

    If you are looking for a main dish to go with these potatoes, what about a lime cilantro grilled chicken? It is simple to make and is big on flavor.

    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.
