Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 lbs Potatoes Yukon Gold or Russet, peeled (optional) and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter melted
  • 6 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Broth or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Dried Parsley
  • 3/4 tsp Salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper freshly ground, or to taste
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • 6-quart Slow Cooker
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Garlic Press (optional)

Method
 

Prepare the Potatoes (Group)
  1. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. If using Russet potatoes, you may peel them if desired; for Yukon Gold, leaving the skin on is fine. Cut the potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes.
Make the Garlic Parmesan Mixture (Group)
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chicken broth, grated Parmesan cheese, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Combine and Cook (Group)
  1. Add the cubed potatoes to the mixing bowl with the garlic parmesan mixture. Toss thoroughly to ensure all potato pieces are evenly coated.
  2. Spray the inside of your 6-quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the coated potatoes into the slow cooker and spread them out evenly.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 3.5 hours, or on HIGH for 2 to 2.5 hours, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Cooking times may vary slightly based on your slow cooker.
Serve (Group)
  1. Once cooked, stir the potatoes gently. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with extra grated Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

For crispier edges, transfer the cooked potatoes to a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. If you prefer a richer flavor, you can use heavy cream instead of chicken broth. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
