Did you know that you make roasted potatoes in the crock pot? Save your oven space for the main course, and make these easy hands-free crispy potatoes in your slow cooker.
Scrub the potatoes well, and cut them into 1 inch cubes. No need to peel them, unless you just want to.
In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potatoes and toss again to ensure the potatoes are well seasoned.
Transfer the seasoned potatoes to the slow cooker.
Cook on medium heat for 2-3 hours, or low heat for 4-6 hours or until the potatoes are tender and have a golden brown crust on the edges.
If you prefer crispier potatoes, you can transfer them to a baking sheet and broil in the oven for a few minutes until they reach your desired crispiness.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Notes
❄️Storage Instructions
Refrigerator
Allow the roasted potatoes to cool to room temperature before storing them.
Transfer the cooled roasted potatoes to an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag.
Place the sealed container in the refrigerator promptly after the potatoes have cooled. Refrigerate within two hours of cooking to maintain freshness.
Freezer
You can freeze roasted potatoes, but the texture may change a bit, once they're defrosted.
To freeze, allow the potatoes to cool completely, then transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag.
Roasted potatoes can generally be stored in the freezer for 10-12 months.
Reheating
When you're ready to serve the potatoes, you can reheat them in the oven or microwave. For a crispy texture, the broiler in the oven is a good option.
