I used garlic butter instead of oil and they are amazing.
Great alternative! I almost went garlic too – because we love garlic everything haha
I’ll try your way next time for sure 🙂
does this work with peeled pots?
You could but they would break apart when cooked.
Unless you mean like mashed potatoes (we have several of them if you search that in the search box of the recipe page)
How would adding pumpkin, sweet potato, carrot and parsnip go? I’m just about to try it!
Perfectly I think 🙂
I cook these every weekend so easy just love them. The only thing I do different is blitz up some onion with the parsley and put that in and maybe some mixed herbs – YUM
I’m having a function with 30+ people, I have a large slow cooker, could I fill or 3/4 fill it with the potatoes all stacked on each other? Would it take a lot longer to cook? Thanks
For an important function it would be worth testing it first as you will need extra time but it’s hard to predict how much extra for multiple layers 🙂
I made these last night in my baby slow cooker. I knew I wouldn’t have 3 hours, and really appreciated Paulene’s advice on the Facebook page to do them on high for around an hour and 45.
They were absolutely delicious! They will be a regular from now on. I put the herbs in at the start as all I had was dried, and added some rosemary and some garlic powder. Yum!
Sorry, forgot to add some stars!
Cooked these tonight for the first time. Added garlic butter, we both enjoyed them & will be cooking them again. Thank you Paulene.
WOW.tried these tonight. Will definitely be doing them again. Did them in my 1.5 litre SC and only took 2 hours on high. Thankyou Paulene for sharing ?
I’ve had mine on 3hrs in a 3.5L and the potatoes are rock hard still. So have put it up to high and will see what happens.
I love these & make them often using garlic butter. Just need to watch my slow cooker as it cooks very hot.
I love these
I cook them often but I always use garlic butter instead of oil
So darn easy and taste so good. I think that they taste better than when done in the oven. (Maybe because they are SO easy!)
Would this work with full sized potatoes as well?
Yes though times are different >> Jacket Potatoes
I used medium potatoes and they took 2 hours on low. Absolutely peefect.
Added sliced to homemade burgers instead of a side of fries.
I made this last night for dinner. Added garlic and herb salt. Very nice . Another wonderful recipe added to my collection.

Thank you Marilyn! 🙂
Fab side dish and so easy in my 1.5 slow cooker
Can you cook them without water
I cook these in my 1.5L without water 🙂
Excellent! I couldn’t find any decent fresh herbs so I took others advice and put the dry ones in at the beginning of the cook. I used two kilos of baby potatoes so I used my 6.5L slow cooker. They cooked on low for 3 hours then high for an hour just to make sure they cooked in time. Will be doing my potatoes like this whenever I have a large gathering to feed from now on!
