Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium (Yukon Gold or red potatoes preferred) Potatoes
- 2 large Red onions
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 6 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (freshly ground) Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Parsley
Instructions
Peel and wash the potatoes. Chop them into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
Peel the red onions and slice them into thin wedges.
In a slow cooker, add the olive oil and butter, allowing them to coat the bottom evenly.
Layer the potato pieces and red onion wedges in the slow cooker.
Tuck the whole garlic cloves and thyme sprigs among the potatoes and onions for maximum flavor distribution.
Pour the vegetable stock into the slow cooker to keep everything moist during the cooking process.
Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper evenly over the ingredients.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to the low setting. Cook for 4 hours, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Once the potatoes are fork-tender and the onions are caramelized and soft, remove the thyme sprigs and discard.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.
Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and a pop of color.
