- 3 pounds Gold or Red Potatoes (rinsed & cut in 2-inch pieces)
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder (or 3 cloves minced fresh)
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder (or Dried Minced Onion)
- ¼ cup Water
- ¾ cup Fresh Mixed Herbs, chopped (save ¼ cup for garnish)
- 4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
Add the rinsed & cut potatoes to the slow cooker crock.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Whisk in the water.
Pour the sauce over the potatoes.
Add ½ cup of the chopped herbs to the potatoes and mix well to coat them.
Dot the butter on top of the potatoes.
Cover and cook on Low about 5 hours, stirring once or twice, if possible, or until potatoes are tender (I don’t recommend cooking on High, as the sauce may dry up before the potatoes are tender. If you need to cook on high, increase water to ⅓ cup and olive oil to 1 ¼ Tablespoons and cook about 2 ½ to 3 hours, stirring a couple of times).
Transfer potatoes and all of the sauce to a serving bowl and add the reserved fresh herbs. Mix well and serve.
