Slow Cooker Cabbage And Potatoes Recipes

Roasting Cabbage and Potatoes in the crockpot slow cooker is a great way to make this classic St. Patrick's day side dish for your dinner on March 17! I like to cook my corned beef separately from the cabbage and potatoes so everything doesn't taste the same!

Day 76.

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day! Have some green soup, eat some corned beef, and cozy up to a big plate full of roasted cabbage, potatoes, and garlic.

Made lovingly in the appliance that takes a licking and keeps on ticking: The CrockPot.

It's no secret to my family that I don't like corned beef. I really, really, really, really don't like it. I'll tolerate it out of respect to whomever made it, but other than that time I made it in January, I haven't ever cooked it just to cook it.

And I married an Irish Man.

And I don't like boiled vegetables. I don't like the texture, the smell, the color... AND! the thought of eating vegetables that were cooked with a meat that I don't like so then the vegetables taste like that meat...

ick.

ugh.

I should probably stop here, but trust me in that I could seriously go on forever.

So, I will be eating these yummy veggies tomorrow.

probably out in the backyard by myself now that I have insulted my whole family...

The Ingredients.
1 small head of cabbage
12 to 14 colorful baby potatoes
10 to 12 whole cloves of garlic (approx a whole head)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

The Directions.

--wash vegetables
--cut potatoes into 1 inch chunks (I didn't peel them)
--cut cabbage into wedges--don't worry about separating the leaves
--throw veggies into the crockpot with the whole garlic cloves
--add olive oil, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar

--toss with hands to coat thoroughly.

DO NOT ADD WATER.

cook on high for 3 hours or low for 4 to 6 hours.

the vegetables are done when the potatoes reach desired tenderness.

the cabbage will get a little carmelized and crispy around the edges where they touch the crock walls. That's okay--it tastes good!

The Verdict.

I loved the combination of the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and garlic. Adam loved it, and one kid attempted a potato bite for me.
