Garlic Potatoes

(from ajdahl’s recipe box)

Categories: Side

Ingredients

  • 4 big brown potatoes
  • 2 T melted butter
  • 2 T olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 8 or so garlic cloves

Directions

  1. Peel the garlic and cut it into long slivers.

  2. Wash your potatoes, and pat dry. Carefully cut slits into each potato about 1/2 inch thick almost do the very base. The potato should start to separate a bit like an accordion.

  3. Shove as many garlic slices as you can in each slit of each potato.

  4. Nestle the potatoes into your crockpot. I used an oval 6qt Smart Pot, and the potatoes didn’t fit all the way down to the bottom, they kind of were halfway on each other. It doesn’t seem to matter.

  5. Liberally salt and pepper. Combine the melted butter with the olive oil and drizzle over the top of each potato, trying to get some in the garlic-filled slits, if you can.

  6. ver and cook on high for 2-4 hours or on low for about 6. They are done when the potatoes reach desired tenderness.

  7. Top with sour cream.
