Description

Crock Pot Foil-Wrapped Potatoes are an easy and hands-off recipe perfect for a comforting side dish. Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes are seasoned with garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper, and olive oil, then individually wrapped in foil and slow-cooked in a crock pot until tender and flavorful. This method infuses the potatoes with aromatic herbs and yields a perfect soft texture without needing the oven or stove.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Seasoning

  • 6 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp dried rosemary (or fresh sprigs)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Aluminum foil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or residue.
  2. Prick Potatoes: Use a fork to prick each potato several times; this allows steam to escape during cooking.
  3. Make Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful oil mixture.
  4. Season Potatoes: Rub each potato evenly with the olive oil seasoning mixture, ensuring the herbs and spices coat the skin well.
  5. Wrap in Foil: Wrap each seasoned potato tightly in aluminum foil to lock in moisture and flavors while cooking.
  6. Arrange in Crock Pot: Place the foil-wrapped potatoes in a single layer inside the crock pot to ensure even cooking.
  7. Cook Potatoes: Cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  8. Serve: Carefully unwrap the hot potatoes and serve immediately. Optionally, top with sour cream, cheese, or chives for added flavor.

Notes

  • You can use either Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes depending on your preference for texture and flavor.
  • The slow cooking time allows the flavors to infuse deeply and the potatoes to become very tender.
  • Be cautious when unwrapping the foil as steam will escape and can cause burns.
  • Optional toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, or fresh chives complement the roasted herb flavor well.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep or keeping warm throughout the day since crock pot cooking is very hands-off.
