Slow Cooker Italian Potatoes


This is an easy way to take care of a savory side dish with grilled meat. These potatoes pair especially well with grilled pork tenderloin.

Ingredients:
  • 3 pounds mini potatoes (serves 6 - 8)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 shallots thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • pepper
  • 1/4 cup half and half or cream (optional)
Method:
  1. Wash and slice mini potatoes into halves or thirds. Place in slow cooker.
  2. Add oil, shallot, garlic and spices. Stir.
  3. Begin with high heat for one hour, then turn down to cook for 2 - 3 hours, until soft.
  4. About 1 hour before serving, stir in cream if desired. 
  5. Serve with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley or chives.
