These Slow Cooker Italian Herb Potatoes are a true “dump-and-go” side dish. By using bottled Italian dressing as the marinade, you get a balanced mix of oil, vinegar, and herbs with zero prep work. As the potatoes slowly cook, they absorb the bold, tangy flavors, resulting in a soft, fluffy center and a richly seasoned exterior.
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Red or yellow potatoes, halved or quartered | 2–2½ lbs |
| Bottled Italian salad dressing (regular or zesty) | 1 cup |
| Kosher salt | ½ tsp |
Lightly coat a 4-quart (or larger) slow cooker with oil or nonstick spray. This helps prevent the herbs and sugars in the dressing from sticking or over-caramelizing during cooking.
Place the cleaned and cut potatoes into the slow cooker. Pour the Italian dressing evenly over the potatoes, then sprinkle with salt.
Tip: Choose zesty Italian dressing for a brighter, herb-forward flavor, or creamy Italian for a smoother, more subtle taste.
Gently mix the potatoes until all pieces are well coated in the dressing. Spread them into an even layer to promote uniform cooking.
Cover and cook until tender:
The potatoes are ready when a fork slides in easily without resistance.
Give the potatoes a final gentle stir to recoat them in the flavorful juices. Transfer to a serving dish and spoon any remaining dressing from the slow cooker over the top before serving.
