Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Wash and dry the baby red potatoes. Cut any larger potatoes into halves to ensure even cooking, leaving smaller ones whole.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, melted butter, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spray the inside of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease with extra olive oil.
Transfer the seasoned potatoes to the slow cooker, spreading them out evenly.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Stir the potatoes gently halfway through the cooking time to ensure even coating and cooking.
Once finished, sprinkle the cooked potatoes with fresh parsley for garnish before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish for your favorite main course.
