Ingredients
1½ lbs (700 g) baby potatoes, washed

4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
½ tsp paprika (optional)
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dry the baby potatoes. If some are large, cut them in half.
In a large skillet or slow cooker, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add the potatoes and toss until they are evenly coated in the garlic butter mixture.
Cover and cook:
Slow Cooker: Low for 4–5 hours or High for 2–3 hours.
Skillet: Cover and cook over low heat for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the potatoes are fork-tender, uncover and cook for a few more minutes to lightly crisp the edges.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a gentle kick.
Use fresh herbs if available for even more flavor.
