Between school, activities, and work, life can get a bit crazy! But, being able to make a recipe with under 10 ingredients has been a lifesaver.

Plus, my family LOVES to add their own twist to the recipe! As a result, I've seen these crock pot potatoes turn into:

Loaded potatoes
Bacon cheesy potatoes
Mashed potatoes
Ranch potatoes

Crock pot potatoes are being made in the Slow cooker. Potatoes show diced in a white crockpot.

In the past, I have tried to toss whole red potatoes in my slow cooker for this recipe. However, believe me when I say that slicing each red potato is 100% worth it! As a result, your potatoes will be tender in the middle and crispy around the edges – you can thank me later 🙂

Using red potatoes for baking, roasting or in slow cooker recipes is my preference because these potatoes will hold their texture. For instance, the flesh of the potato will stay firm while cooking because of the waxy skin.

WHAT BOTTLE OF OLIVE OIL DO I PICK?

Do you ever stand in the cooking oil aisle at the grocery store and wonder which olive oil to buy?! There are SO many options these days and it can be overwhelming.

However, here are a few helpful tips to pick a bottle:

Pick a darker bottlesince a dark container will keep out light, which can reduce the quality of the oil
Choose a glass bottlesince glass protects the oil from oxygen, which can decrease the health benefits
Find a bottle from a lower shelf since oil stored on the bottom shelf will likely be exposed to less light

I change the seasonings that are added to this recipe each time that I make it because I love to try different options. Overall, I recommend swapping, adding or eliminating spices from this recipe based on your flavor preferences and cabinet stock!
