Crockpot Roasted Potatoes
Description
This recipe uses medium russet potatoes cut into 2-inch cubes, seasoned with olive oil, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes for a mild heat. The potatoes cook uncovered in a crockpot on either high for 2 to 3 hours or low for 4 to 5 hours until tender throughout. Parmesan cheese is added in the last 30 minutes to melt into the potatoes, creating a lightly crispy, cheesy layer on top. Finally, fresh chopped parsley can be sprinkled for color and flavor.
The texture is soft and well-seasoned, with the slow cooking allowing the flavors to fully develop. The Parmesan adds an umami boost that complements the herbs and spices nicely. This approach frees the cook from watching a pan, ideal for busy days or when multitasking in the kitchen.
Serve as a side dish with meals where roasted or baked potatoes would fit, such as grilled meats or roasted vegetables. These potatoes can be stirred just before serving to distribute the cheese and herbs evenly.
