Servings: 4

1.5 pounds baby potatoes
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced

1. Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly.

2. Place the potatoes in the slow cooker.

3. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic.

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

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

6. Once cooked, give the potatoes a gentle stir to coat them in the garlic butter.

7. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

For a bit of a kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture. If you love herbs, try adding some fresh rosemary or thyme for an aromatic twist. You can also sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes just before serving for an extra layer of flavor. If you're short on time, you can cut the potatoes in half to speed up the cooking process. And for those who prefer a vegan option, substitute the butter with olive oil or a plant-based butter alternative.
