Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives for topping
Golden Glazed Potato Chunks: Directions
- Grease the inside of a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker with a little butter or nonstick cooking spray so the glaze does not stick to the bottom.
- Wash your potatoes really well, then cut them into about 1 1/2-inch pieces. Keep the skins on because they give the potatoes a nice look and make the inside extra creamy.
- In a small bowl or cup, mix together the melted butter, honey, and garlic salt. Stir it all together until it looks smooth and shiny.
- Put the potato pieces into the slow cooker. Pour the butter and honey mixture on top of the potatoes. Use a spatula to scrape out every last drop of the glaze.
- Carefully stir the potatoes so the sweet sauce covers all the pieces. Spread them out into one flat layer so they all cook evenly.
- Put the lid on and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours, or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours. The potatoes are ready when you can easily poke them with a fork. Try not to lift the lid too much while they are cooking because letting the heat out will make them take longer.
- If you want the edges to get a little more golden and the sauce to get thicker, once the potatoes are soft, give them a gentle stir and prop the lid open just a little for the last 15 to 20 minutes on HIGH. This lets some of the steam out and makes the glaze nice and thick.
- Give the potatoes a little taste. If you want them a bit more salty, add a pinch more garlic salt. If you want them sweeter, drizzle on a little more honey.
- Scoop the shiny golden potatoes and all of that yummy sauce into a big serving bowl. Sprinkle chopped parsley or chives on top for a little color and serve them warm. Spoon extra glaze over each serving.
How to Serve
These golden potatoes taste great next to roasted chicken, baked ham, or a pan-cooked pork chop. Add something green on the side like steamed green beans, roasted Brussels sprouts, or a fresh salad to balance out the richness of the glaze. If you are making this for a special day like Mother’s Day, finish the meal with something light like a fruit salad or angel food cake.
