Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions:
- Prep the potatoes: Wash and dry the baby potatoes. You can leave them whole or cut them in half for quicker cooking.
- Mix the magic: In a bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic. Toss the potatoes in the mixture until well coated.
- Slow cook: Transfer everything to your slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 3–4 hours or low for 5–6 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Tips:
For a bit of a kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture. If you love herbs, try adding some fresh rosemary or thyme for an aromatic twist. You can also sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes just before serving for an extra layer of flavor. If you're short on time, you can cut the potatoes in half to speed up the cooking process. And for those who prefer a vegan option, substitute the butter with olive oil or a plant-based butter alternative.
