These Italian Herb Potatoes are the ultimate easy side dish—just toss, set, and let the slow cooker do the work. Using bottled Italian dressing means no measuring or chopping, while the herbs, oil, and vinegar infuse the potatoes with flavor as they cook. The result: tender, flavorful potatoes with minimal effort.
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Red or yellow potatoes, halved or quartered | 2–2½ lbs |
| Bottled Italian salad dressing (regular or zesty) | 1 cup |
| Kosher salt | ½ tsp |
Step 1: Prep the Slow Cooker
Grease a 4-quart (or larger) slow cooker lightly with oil or nonstick spray. This helps prevent the dressing from sticking or over-browning.
Step 2: Combine Potatoes and Dressing
Place the cut potatoes in the slow cooker. Pour the Italian dressing over them and sprinkle with salt.
Tip: Choose “Zesty” dressing for extra flavor and visible herbs, or regular/creamy for a smoother taste.
Step 3: Toss to Coat
Gently stir so all potato pieces are coated evenly. Arrange them in a single layer as much as possible to ensure uniform cooking.
Step 4: Slow Cook
Cover and cook on:
Potatoes are ready when tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Step 5: Serve
Give the potatoes a final gentle toss to coat in the cooking juices. Transfer to a serving dish and drizzle any leftover dressing over the top for extra flavor.
