Ingredients:

  • 3 lbs Yukon Gold or Red Potatoes, cut into 1-inch uniform cubes
  • 1 large Yellow Onion, diced
  • 3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic, smashed and minced
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1.5 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Cracked Black Pepper

Instructions:

  1. Prep the oil base. In your largest mixing bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 cloves of minced garlic, chopped rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Note: Mixing the spices into the oil first ensures even distribution so you don't get spice clumps on some potatoes and none on others.
  2. Cube the potatoes. Cut your 3 lbs of potatoes into 1 inch uniform cubes. Note: Consistency is more important than the exact size; if they are all the same, they all finish at the same time.
  3. Dice the onion. Chop the yellow onion into pieces roughly the same size as the garlic or slightly larger.
  4. Toss the mixture. Add the potatoes and onions to the bowl. Toss vigorously until every surface is shimmering and coated in the herb mixture.
  5. Load the crock. Transfer the mixture into your 6 quart slow cooker. Spread them out into an even layer.
  6. Avoid liquids. Do not add water, broth, or any extra moisture. Note: Adding liquid will boil the potatoes instead of roasting them, ruining the texture.
  7. Set the timer. Cover and cook on High for 4 hours (or Low for 7 hours). Wait until the potatoes are tender and the edges look slightly translucent and browned.
  8. The fork test. At the 4 hour mark, pierce a large cube with a fork. It should slide in with zero resistance.
  9. Add the cheese. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of Parmesan over the top while the potatoes are still hot in the crock.
  10. Final rest. Let them sit with the lid off for 5 minutes before serving to allow any excess steam to evaporate.
