New Potatoes are quintessentially the flavour of spring and summer. Whether your favourite is a Jersey Royal or an Ayrshire tattie their earthy nutty flavoured is fantastic in salads or as a side dish to your roast dinner.This gentle cooking method also allows the full flavour of the potatoes to come through. Yes, you could boil them for 20mns on the hob or in the microwave (but I don't have one) but on hot summer days that's not ideal -who wants a hot, steamy kitchen.? so this was the better option imo. This means I can do lots at the one time and use some for dinner and some for potato salad during the week. It also means it can free up space on the hob if your cooking other dishes.

Wash the potatoes and place them in the Slow Cooker
Finely chop the garlic and add it to the potatoes.
Crumble over the stock cube.
Sprinkle over the Rosemary or mixed herbs,
Cook on high (lid on) for 1hr 15mns- 1hr 30mns or until potatoes are soft.
No liquid is needed as the heat from the cooker will produce steam which will settle in the bottom of the cooker.
Serve warm with a drizzle of butter.
Great with a salad or chopped & mixed with your favourite salad cream , mayonnaise or dressing.
