“Slow cooker Irish potatoes” usually means tender, buttery potatoes cooked low and slow with simple, comforting flavors—nothing fancy, just really good.
🥔 Slow Cooker Irish Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 1.5–2 kg potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work best)
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- Salt (about 1 tsp, or to taste)
- Black pepper (1/2 tsp)
- 1 tsp dried parsley (or fresh at the end)
- Optional: 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
- Wash and cut potatoes into chunks (no need to peel if you like the skins).
- Add potatoes, onion, and garlic to the slow cooker.
- Pour in the broth and sprinkle salt, pepper, and parsley.
- Dot the top with butter.
- Cover and cook:
- Low: 6–7 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
- Once tender, gently stir. Add cheese if using and let it melt for 10 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
Optional Irish-style twist:
Add chopped cabbage during the last hour for a simple colcannon-style version.
It comes out soft, buttery, and full of flavor—perfect with roasted meat or even on its own. If you want it extra creamy, I can show you a mashed version too.
