Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes (red or yellow)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly. If the potatoes are larger than bite-sized, cut them in half.
Place the potatoes into the crock pot. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
Add the minced garlic, butter, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the crock pot. Stir to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. Stir the potatoes once halfway through cooking to ensure even coating and cooking.
Once the potatoes are fork-tender, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top and stir gently.
If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese just before serving for an added layer of flavor.
Serve the potatoes hot as a side dish and enjoy the creamy, buttery goodness!
