Slow Cooker Garlic Smashed Red Potatoes

What makes this recipe even better is that you can make the potatoes with the least effort. The slow cooker does so much of the work to prepare these delicious potatoes. If you want to eat a home-cooked meal, but you do not have a lot of time to make meals from scratch, I promise this is the perfect side dish for you because you can make these potatoes in no time.

Ingredients Needed to Make Slow Cooker Garlic Smashed Red Potatoes

Make the potatoes with a handful of essential ingredients, such as:

  • Small Red Potatoes. The little red potatoes are the star of this recipe. When seasoned to perfection and mixed with the right ingredients, these potatoes are full of flavor.
  • Minced Garlic. You need the minced garlic for this recipe to give your smashed red potatoes much more flavor.
  • Cream Cheese. The cream cheese offers a smooth texture to the mashed potatoes, making them as savory as possible.
  • Chives. The chives are worth adding to the potatoes for additional flavor. Chives go well with the minced garlic and cream cheese.

If you have these ingredients, you can make your Slow Cooker Garlic Smashed Red Potatoes when you are ready to do so. You will also need some salt, water, milk, and olive oil. Mixing these ingredients will allow you to make the most delicious side dish ever!

How to Store Your Slow Cooker Garlic Smashed Potatoes

Sometimes, we have leftovers. I like to put my leftover Slow Cooker Garlic Smashed Red Potatoes in a microwave-safe food container with a lid. The great thing about using a microwave-safe container is that I can pop the container in the microwave and reheat the tasty potatoes for lunch the next day. It is that simple, and the potatoes still taste just as good as they did when I first made them. Always put your potatoes in the fridge when storing them to eat another day.

Make Garlic Smashed Potatoes Ahead

If you want to make a large batch of these potatoes ahead of time for a family gathering, store them in the fridge for up to three days. Warm them as needed in the microwave and you are good to go!
