Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Potatoes are perfectly seasoned potato wedges that turn out creamy on the inside!
These potatoes are great in place of slow cooker baked potatoes when looking for something different. We love making these potatoes long with horseradish pot roast and freshly steamed vegetables.

Why You Should Try Garlic Parmesan Potatoes Slow Cooker Recipe
There are a few things I don’t cook in the slow cooker (raw pasta and raw rice) but when I think of that limitation I always think how many ways potatoes can be made in the slow cooker instead!
These Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Potatoes only take a few minutes to prepare and then four hours to cook in the slow cooker. When they are done cooking you won’t believe how creamy the potatoes are. They make a great side dish. Also, try my slow cooker cajun potatoes recipe.

- Red Potatoes: Cut into wedges.
- Olive oil: Extra virgin works best. Use melted butter if you don’t have olive oil.
- Garlic: Fresh minced garlic or jarred.
- Seasonings: Salt, pepper, thyme and oregano. You can also use Italian seasoning if you have that on hand.
- Parmesan cheese: I use Kraft cheese in a shaker bottle but I have also used. shredded parmesan and that works great too.

Recipe FAQs
Yes! You can use Yukon gold, or Russet with the same results. The seasoning mixture can also be used with baby potatoes or fingerlings.
Topping it with fresh herbs (think fresh parsley) gives it an earthy taste. Pouring creamy gravy on top is also delicious.
Place any remaining potatoes in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
