Crockpot Parmesan Roasted Potatoes
Crockpot Parmesan Roasted Potatoes are tender baby potatoes seasoned with garlic, herbs, olive oil, and butter, then slow-cooked to perfection. Finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, these potatoes make a delicious side dish for any meal.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds baby potatoes washed and halved
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese grated
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Start by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Once clean, cut them in half to ensure they cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the seasonings.
Mix the Seasonings:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, and minced garlic. Stir well to create a flavorful mixture that will coat the potatoes.
Toss the Potatoes:
- Add the halved potatoes to the bowl with the butter and garlic mixture. Toss them gently until all the potatoes are evenly coated. This step is crucial as it helps infuse the potatoes with flavor while they cook.
Add Herbs and Seasoning:
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the dried oregano, basil, dill, kosher salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning blend over the coated potatoes and toss lightly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Transfer to Slow Cooker:
- Pour the seasoned potatoes into a crockpot (5-quart or larger). Spread them out evenly in the pot for even cooking.
Cook the Potatoes:
- Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours. The potatoes are done when they can be easily pierced with a fork.
Add Parmesan Cheese:
- Once cooked, carefully remove the potatoes from the crockpot and transfer them to a serving dish. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes while they are still warm so that it melts slightly.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve these delicious Crockpot Parmesan Roasted Potatoes as a side dish alongside your favorite main courses like grilled chicken or steak. They pair wonderfully with salads or steamed vegetables as well.
- These potatoes are not only easy to prepare but also incredibly flavorful, making them a perfect addition to any meal! Enjoy your cooking!
