Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork baby back ribs
- 2 cups BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 sprig Fresh rosemary (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the ribs by removing the silver skin (thin membrane) on the back of the racks for optimal tenderness.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a dry rub.
Step 3
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.
Step 4
Cut the racks into portions with 2-3 ribs each, so they fit easily into the crockpot.
Step 5
Place the baby potatoes in a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Step 6
Lay the seasoned potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot, spreading them evenly.
Step 7
Stack the rib portions on top of the potatoes in the crockpot, arranging them to fit snugly.
Step 8
Pour the BBQ sauce evenly over the ribs, ensuring they are well-coated.
Step 9
If using fresh rosemary, place the sprig on top for a fragrant touch.
Step 10
Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the ribs are tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
Step 11
Optional: For a caramelized finish, carefully remove the ribs from the crockpot and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet. Baste with additional BBQ sauce and broil in the oven on high for 3-5 minutes, until slightly charred.
Step 12
Serve the ribs hot alongside the potatoes, and enjoy your hearty Crockpot Ribs and Taters!
