15 Comforting Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Potatoes

This Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Potatoes recipe is one of those simple sides I keep coming back to because it’s effortless and always comforting. Everything goes into the slow cooker, and a few hours later you’re left with tender potatoes coated in a rich, buttery garlic sauce that tastes like it took way more effort than it did. It’s the kind of recipe that fits perfectly into busy days when oven space is limited or when I just want something hands-off.

What I love most is how dependable it is. The potatoes cook evenly, soak up all that garlic butter flavor, and turn out soft but not mushy. There’s no constant checking or stirring, which makes it stress-free.

I usually serve these garlic butter potatoes alongside chicken, beef, or even as part of a holiday spread. They’re cozy, flavorful, and always a crowd-pleaser. It’s a simple recipe that proves you don’t need complicated steps to make something truly delicious and comforting.
