Instructions
-
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and dry the baby potatoes, trimming any sprouts if necessary. If using larger potatoes, cut them into evenly-sized pieces.

Season the Potatoes:
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
-
Add to Slow Cooker:
- Transfer the seasoned potatoes to the slow cooker. For the best results, arrange them in a single layer or avoid overcrowding.
-
Cook:
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 2-3 hours or on LOW for 4-5 hours, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
-
Serve:

Notes
- For Crispier Potatoes: After cooking, place the potatoes on a baking sheet and broil in the oven for 5-10 minutes for a golden, crispy finish.
- Variations: Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before serving, or use rosemary and thyme for different flavors.
