Crockpot Garlic Herb Potatoes are an easy side dish for weeknight meals or holiday dinners. Yukon Gold potatoes are coated in a medley of dried herbs and cooked on low until they are tender and delicious.

I love potatoes as a side dish, but sometimes mashed potatoes can be too heavy. So, I make these easy garlic herb potatoes instead. They’re lighter but with a great flavor.

The best part is that they cook in the crockpot. They’re easy enough for regular dinners, but we love them for holiday meals like Christmas and Easter. Cooking them in the slow cooker saves space on the stove and in the oven, which is always nice when you’re making multiple dishes.

Crockpot garlic and herb potatoes are definitely a great side dish to try if you want some delicious and easy. They pair well with so many main dishes like turkey, ham, steak, chicken, and pork. The flavor is light, and they’re definitely healthier than mashed potatoes.

FAQ

Can you use other kinds of potatoes for this recipe?

You want to use a potato that is not too starchy and holds its shape well. Yukon Golds are great, but you can also try red potatoes or baby potatoes. Remember that the cooking time may vary depending on how big your potato pieces are.

I would avoid using russet potatoes. They are pretty starchy and may break down and not hold their shape.

What herbs do you use on potatoes?

Pretty much any herbs you like work great. Potatoes have a mild flavor and pair well with various dried herbs and fresh herbs. For this recipe, I use oregano, rosemary, parsley, and a mix of Italian seasonings.

Here are other dried herbs you might like:

Dried chives
Herbs de Provence
Dried cilantro
Dried dill
Dried thyme

You can also use fresh herbs, but use them as a garnish for serving. Chopped fresh parsley or chives would work great with this crockpot garlic herb potatoes recipe.

How long do slow cooker potatoes keep?

Leftover garlic herb potatoes will keep in the refrigerator for three to four days.

What to Serve with Them

Give these crockpot garlic herb potatoes a try the next time you need a great potato side dish. The flavor is great, and they’re so easy – they take just minutes to prep, and then your slow cooker does the work. Enjoy!
