2. Crafting the Flavor Infusion
In a small bowl, create a flavorful infusion by mixing olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper. This aromatic blend will be the secret behind the gourmet experience.
3. Coat the Potatoes with Flavor
Drizzle the oil and herb mixture generously over the potatoes in the slow cooker, ensuring each potato is thoroughly coated. This step sets the foundation for the rich taste that will unfold during the slow cooking process.
4. Slow Cook to Perfection
Cover the slow cooker and set it to high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-6 hours. Don’t forget to stir occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld and infuse into every potato.
5. The Parmesan Finale
Once the potatoes reach a tender perfection, it’s time for the Parmesan finale. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes, stirring until the cheese melts and coats each potato evenly.
6. Garnish and Serve
For the finishing touch, serve the Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Potatoes hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired. This optional garnish adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
