Potatoes: Easy Crock Pot Deliciousness!

Hi there!  It’s been a heck of a week and I’m happy to be back writing this morning!

Tonight we are celebrating both my honey’s birthday and my own and since my parents love our cooking, we are putting down a simple, delicious spread.

The menu consists of Grilled Buttermilk Chicken, garden-fresh, packet-cooked carrots Caprese salad and everyone’s favorite: Crock Pot Potatoes!

Crock Pot Potatoes

  • 6-8 medium potatoes, scrubbed clean and chopped roughly (I used fresh dug ‘taters, so good!)
  • 1/2 – 1 t dried minced roasted garlic (I am feeling lazy this morning!)
  • 1 t dried parsley
  • 1 t Italian seasoning
  • 4-6 T salted butter (I prefer Kerrygold)
  • 1/4 water
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • whole milk/cream/half and half to taste (I prefer grass-fed organic cream, ‘cuz I like my fats!)

Crock Pot Potatoes!This recipe is just too simple!  Take the potatoes, roughly chop and place into Crock Pot.  Add 1/4 cup water, butter and herbs and cook on low for 6-8 hours until potatoes are tender.  I know this is a span, but what I typically do is put them over by 9 am on the day of the party and mash them about an hour before the begin time.  I will add milk, cream, half and half, whatever fatty dairy I choose to continue the consistency.

These potatoes are beautiful and I’ve never had a complaint, in fact, they are typically at the top of the request list!  The only thing that tops them is the butter boiled potatoes, but I’m not sure how to do them for a large crowd.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!  Nomz.

  • […] In a large zipper bag, place the rinsed chicken breasts, buttermilk and hot sauce.  Squish around to distribute all ingredients evenly and ensure coating on all parts.  I typically let this sit in a dish in the refrigerator for 2-3 days so it gets really tender and delicious!  **A note on scaling for this dish, if you have leftover buttermilk from scaling this down, I would use it in the crock pot potatoes!
