TIPS FOR MAKING THESE ITALIAN ROASTED POTATOES
Italian roasted potatoes usually use red baby potatoes and flavor them with herbs like:
- garlic
- italian seasoning
- parsley
- cheese
I chose to add a little greek twist to these Italian potatoes with the feta cheese, and I don’t think I’ve ever had anything like feta cheese potatoes and I certainly can’t go back.
Unless you’re soaking or cooking potatoes for hours, they usually don’t absorb a ton of spices. So, by letting them do their thing in the slow cooker, you get the best flavor possible.
And now I’m very reliant on these slow cooker roasted red potatoes. Because they are my go to for entertaining or an easy flavorful side!
Seriously, you do nothing at all except add your chopped ingredients and spices and walk away.
MODIFICATIONS FOR SLOW COOKER ROASTED RED POTATOES:
You can leave out the bacon for vegetarian cheesy potatoes.
If you’re not a feta cheese fan or the taste is too strong for your liking, I’ve also used cheddar cheese and had great success.
Although, I’m always of the opinion of adding more cheese – both to the crockpot and then to the final dish after. After all, we’re making cheesy red potatoes.
I hope you’ll consider these potatoes for your St. Patrick’s Day gathering, or for your next tailgate or heck, even cookout. Slow cooker roasted potatoes work for just about anything.
Don’t skip out on the slow cooker potato recipes! You can easily impress your guests (by doing so little work), and then adding extra garnishes of parsley and cheese.
The whole point here is to make crock pot cheesy potatoes a success.

Thanks Lisa!
Slow cookers are the best! I’ve never had a special St. Patrick’s Food, but I’d eat this anytime of year!
Yes, this is perfect for any time of year, for those quick meals and sides!
This looks SO good. My parents would always make potatoes in the slow cooker, but they’d cook them far too long and they always got mushy. I trust your culinary skills much better, haha. For St, Pattys I’d love to make myself a nice green smoothie and some homemade irish soda bread, if I have the time. We’ll see…
I’ve been thinking about irish soda bread lately…may have to make that too!
Mmm these look delicious! I’ve had a container of unopened feta in my fridge and haven’t decided what to do with it but I love the idea of putting it on roasted potatoes. Yum!!!
Feta and potatoes = amazingness 🙂
This looks so good! I bet it makes teh house smell amazing too. I havent done just potatoes in the crockpot before only soup or stew with potatoes in it.
Yes, it absolutely does!
