Recipe Ingredients
- 8 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks (approximately 1.2 kg / 2.6 lbs)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed and unpeeled
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
How To Make Slow Cooker Rosemary Roast Potatoes
- Prepare the potatoes: Put the potato chunks into your slow cooker and drizzle with olive oil. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then add the crushed garlic cloves.
- Start cooking: Cover the slow cooker with a tea towel, place the lid on top, and cook on high for 3–4 hours. Stir every hour if desired, but it isn’t necessary.
- Add rosemary: One hour before the cooking time is up, add the rosemary sprigs to the slow cooker.
- Check for doneness: Test the potatoes to ensure they are cooked through before serving. Depending on their size, they may need additional time.
Recipe Tips
- Cut potatoes evenly: Make sure all potato chunks are the same size so they cook evenly in the slow cooker.
- Use fresh rosemary: Fresh rosemary adds a stronger flavor compared to dried. Add it later in cooking to avoid bitterness.
- Don’t skip the tea towel trick: Place a tea towel under the lid to absorb moisture, ensuring the potatoes stay crispy, not soggy.
- Check doneness early: Start testing the potatoes 30 minutes before the suggested time, as slow cookers vary in heat.
- Season generously: Potatoes absorb flavor, so don’t be afraid to add extra salt, pepper, or even a pinch of smoked paprika for extra flavor.
