Ingredients
- 2 pounds small red baby potatoes, rinsed and halved
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- Coarse salt, for finishing (optional)
Instructions
- Lightly grease the slow cooker with butter or cooking spray.
- Add halved baby potatoes to the slow cooker, arranging some cut-side up.
- Pour balsamic vinegar evenly over the potatoes.
- Dot butter pieces over the top.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours until fork-tender.
- Stir gently to coat potatoes in the glaze.
- If glaze is thin, cook uncovered on HIGH for 15–20 minutes to reduce.
- Season with coarse salt if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- Stir gently to avoid breaking the soft potatoes.
- Cooking uncovered at the end helps thicken the glaze.
- Yellow potatoes can be used for a creamier texture.
- Add herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
- Best served fresh and warm for glossy glaze.
