Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and quarter the red potatoes. No need to peel them unless you prefer a smoother texture.
Lightly grease the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
Place the quartered potatoes into the crock pot.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Mince the garlic and stir it into the melted butter.
Pour the butter and garlic mixture evenly over the potatoes.
Add the heavy cream, cream cheese (cut into small chunks), shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper to the crock pot.
Gently stir the mixture to combine, ensuring the potatoes are evenly coated with the creamy ingredients.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Carefully stir the dish again before serving to distribute the melted cheese and creamy sauce.
Transfer to a serving dish, if desired, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
