Crock Pot Red Potatoes - a delicious and easy slow cooker red potato recipe for dinner or for a crowd. The hints of garlic with olive oil, butter & spices will make this recipe a family favorite!
This crock pot potato recipe is a staple in my house because everyone is running in different directions.
Between school, activities, and work, life can get a bit crazy! But, being able to make a recipe with under 10 ingredients has been a lifesaver.
Plus, my family LOVES to add their own twist to the recipe! As a result, I've seen these crock pot potatoes turn into:
- Loaded potatoes
- Bacon cheesy potatoes
- Mashed potatoes
- Ranch potatoes

HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT RED POTATOES
- Slice red potatoes then add to crockpot
- Add all remaining ingredients into slow cooker and stir until each potato is coated with the spice mixture
- Turn on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-6 hours
- Add your favorite toppings when potatoes are crispy-brown
- Serve and Enjoy!
Using an Instant Pot instead of a crockpot is another great option - especially if you want to turn this recipe into a quick baked potato soup!
However, believe me when I say that slicing each red potato is 100% worth it!
WHAT BOTTLE OF OLIVE OIL DO I PICK?
However, here are a few helpful tips to pick a bottle:
- Pick a darker bottle since a dark container will keep out light, which can reduce the quality of the oil
- Choose a glass bottle since glass protects the oil from oxygen, which can decrease the health benefits
- Find a bottle from a lower shelf since oil stored on the bottom shelf will likely be exposed to less light
