Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) baby potatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Dairy and Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish:
- 1/4 cup (15 grams) chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker by thoroughly coating the interior with a light layer of cooking spray or softened butter to prevent sticking.
- Carefully slice baby potatoes into halves, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
- Create a flavorful seasoning blend by combining melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, rich heavy cream, chopped fresh thyme, finely chopped rosemary, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Gently drizzle the aromatic herb-infused mixture over the potato halves, using a spatula to ensure each potato is completely and evenly coated.
- Secure the slow cooker lid and set the temperature to low, allowing the potatoes to simmer and develop deep flavors for approximately 4-5 hours until they reach a perfect tender consistency.
- Once cooking is complete, let the potatoes rest for a few minutes to absorb any remaining cooking liquid.
- Just before serving, garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add a vibrant, herbaceous finish and enhance the dish’s visual appeal.
Notes
- Ensure even potato size for consistent cooking and prevent some pieces from becoming mushy while others remain undercooked.
- Select fresh, firm baby potatoes with smooth skin to guarantee the best texture and flavor absorption.
- Opt for freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-packaged for more intense, authentic taste and better melting properties.
- Experiment with alternative herbs like oregano or chives to customize the flavor profile while maintaining the dish’s creamy, garlicky essence.
