Parmesan Red Potatoes in the Slow Cooker

By Andrea Green, Contributing Writer

I love a good slow cooker recipe. And this is a GOOD slow cooker recipe.

Parmesan red potatoes in the slow cooker only needs to cook between 3 and 4 hours on high, depending on your slow cooker.

The quick cooking time means I can get everything in the slow cooker before picking up the kids from school. Then, when all the after school lessons and activities are done, the potatoes are ready for dinner!

Start by scrubbing your red potatoes and then cutting them into about 2 inch pieces. I’m not a perfect chopper and they still turn out just fine.

I really think grating fresh lemon zest and Parmesan cheese makes a big flavor difference in this recipe.

The aluminum foil wrap helps the potatoes cook faster and protects them from burning. It doesn’t hurt that it makes clean up easier as well!

Try this the next time you need a make-ahead side dish. We love these potatoes and hope you do too!
