I nicknamed these 'Christmas Glow Potatoes' because their buttery sweetness lights up the table every time!

There's something truly comforting about a warm, hearty dish that fills the house with a delightful aroma. These slow cooker honey butter glazed potatoes are a perfect example of that. This recipe is a family favorite, inspired by the simple, yet delicious flavors of the Midwest. The combination of honey and butter creates a sweet and savory glaze that makes these potatoes irresistible. It's an easy dish to prepare, making it ideal for busy weeknights or a cozy weekend meal.

These honey butter glazed potatoes pair wonderfully with a variety of main dishes. They complement roasted chicken or pork chops beautifully, adding a touch of sweetness to the meal. For a vegetarian option, serve them alongside a hearty vegetable stew or a fresh garden salad. Don't forget to add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.

Servings: 4-6 servings

2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Place the halved baby potatoes in the slow cooker.

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Pour the honey butter mixture over the potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the potatoes are tender.

Once cooked, give the potatoes a gentle stir to coat them in the glaze.

Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if using, before serving.

For a different flavor profile, try adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat. If you have picky eaters, you can substitute the baby potatoes with sweet potatoes for a naturally sweeter dish. To make it dairy-free, replace the butter with olive oil or a plant-based alternative. Feel free to add some chopped onions or bell peppers for extra color and nutrition.
