Slow Cooker Garlic Potatoes
Slow Cooker Garlic Potatoes are perfectly roasted, tender and full of delicious garlic flavour. Don’t worry, the garlic isn’t overpowering and provides the perfect hint to each bite!

This recipe was inspired by my Slow Cooker 40 Clove Garlic Chicken. It looks like it has wayyyyy too much garlic in it, but don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. It’s actually just the perfect amount and not too strong. Each bite has a hint of garlic and tastes delicious!
I love roasting potatoes in the slow cooker. They are so easy to make and a real “set it and forget it” type of dish. With oven-roasted potatoes, it’s easy to burn them if you leave them in too long. The slow cooker takes a lot longer for that to happen so hopefully you’d catch it before it happened. It hasn’t happened to me yet. Knock on wood!

Stacie, I’m allergic to garlic, but when I saw your recipe at a link party i was intrigued by the idea of cooking potatoes in the slow cooker. I’ll be trying this, minus the garlic, very soon!
YUM! I pinned this too! 🙂

You can never go wrong with potatoes– even better when they’re made in a slow-cooker! I’m hungry just looking at the pictures. 😉
I have a bag of mini potatoes lying around that I wanted to try something new with. think i just found my recipe!
These look great! Thanks for sharing. I think I will make these for the office Christmas party next week!
I love using loads of garlic and lemon whenever i cook potatoes, definitely need to try this in the slow cooker.
These look delicious!!! I love throwing things in the crockpot and coming home from work to the delicious smell of dinner already cooked 😉
Loving this recipe! Stopping by from the Create and Crave party.
We love our Slow Cooker.
These mini potatoes are good and this looks like an easy and tasty way to cook them.
oh I do love potatoes and anything garlic! These would be wonderful for our New Year’s Dinner.
I love anything garlic, and slow-cooked!
I’ve never cooked just potatoes in my slow cooker but it sounds like a good idea – wow 20 cloves of garlic sound like a lot to me, might reduce that and see how it goes. Thanks for the recipe Stacie. 🙂
I am going to make this easy Slow Cooker Garlic Potatoes. I think they are easy to make and sound delicious!
I love these kind of potatoes. Soooo yummy!
I will have to try these is my slowcooker.
They sound great! I really need to get a second slow cooker so I can do a side at the same time as the meat when I don’t want to do them together.
Presentation is amazing,i can’t wait to try this !
