The buttery herb mixture in which we cook baby potatoes is very good. When serving, remove the butter mixture from the slow cooker and pour over the potatoes for best results. In fact, it’s worth it if you don’t mind a ton of flavor at the expense of a few extra carbs.
This slow cooker baby potato dish is probably best as a side dish rather than being the main meal. Luckily, there are plenty of slow cooker dinner recipes you can make if you have several slow cookers.

What to serve with baby potatoes
There are a lot of different dishes that will combine perfectly with this delicious accompaniment. Below are just a couple of recommendations on what you can eat with these potatoes.
A delicious slow-cooked roast is the perfect main meal to serve with these potatoes. There are quite a few different “roasts” you can make in a slow cooker. I highly recommend trying to cook a juicy beef breast.
Pork ribs are also super delicious paired with some herbal baby potatoes. My favorite is to slowly cook some BBQ pork ribs, as they are cooked to be incredibly tender and full of flavor.
You can have these potatoes with some extras like sour cream, sweet chili or just some classic ketchup. They go pretty well with most seasonings. If you don’t want anything extra, then they are quite amazing with just the mixture of butter and herbs.
There are
many small tweaks you can make to the recipe, so potatoes are more to your liking. Below are just a couple of suggestions on what you can do.
You can add some spices to the mixture for more flavor. For example, cayenne pepper will add flavor and a little bite to potatoes. Paprika is also an excellent combination for a potato dish.
To radically change the recipe, you can add additional ingredients such as honey or mustard. It’s a great way to bring some very different flavors and make the dish more to your liking.
I like the recipe as it is, but feel free to modify until you get it perfect for you. Be sure to let us know if you can think of an excellent combination.
What to do with
leftovers Leftovers are great for the next day and will easily heat up in the microwave or oven. They are also great if you want to make a potato salad with them. There’s so much you can do, so make sure you don’t throw them away.
I recommend keeping leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three to five days. You can also freeze them for about a year before they start to degrade in quality.
