Ingredients

• 2 pounds Baby potatoes
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and halve them if they are larger than bite-sized.

Step 2

Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a small microwave-safe dish, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or until fully liquefied.

Step 5

In the crock pot, combine the potatoes, mushrooms, melted butter, garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the potatoes and mushrooms with the seasonings.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on high heat for 4 hours or on low heat for 6 hours, stirring once halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

After the cooking time, check the potatoes for tenderness by inserting a fork. They should be soft but not falling apart.

Step 8

Pour the heavy cream over the cooked potatoes and mushrooms, then sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top. Stir gently to combine and allow the mixture to heat through for 5-10 minutes without replacing the lid.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Before serving, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 11

Serve the Crock Pot Mushroom Potatoes warm as a standalone dish or as a side to your favorite protein.
