These Slow Cooker Earth Week Potatoes are a simple, rustic-style side dish that turns basic russet potatoes into soft, creamy, butter-rich halves. By cooking them low and slow, the potatoes become tender and flavorful as they soak up a garlic-herb cream mixture that naturally thickens into a rich sauce.
This easy slow-cooker method gives you all the comfort of classic scalloped potatoes with far less effort. Perfect for busy days when you still want something warm, hearty, and homemade.
