### **How to Make It (Just Like Nana Did)**
1. **Prep the Potatoes**: Wash and cut the potatoes — no need to peel them. Nana never did!
2. **Mix the Good Stuff**: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with melted butter, garlic, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. **Into the Slow Cooker**: Pour the seasoned potatoes into your greased slow cooker. Cover and cook on **low for 4–5 hours** or **high for 2–3 hours**, until tender.
4. **Finishing Touch**: Give everything a gentle stir and sprinkle with parsley before serving. Nana would always add a bit more cheese on top — why not?

### **Nana’s Tips (and a Few of Our Own)**
* **Use real butter** – Always. It makes a difference.
* **Fresh garlic > garlic powder** – The smell alone is worth it.
* **Add love** – Stir slowly, serve warm, and don’t forget to smile.
For a crispier version, you can pop the cooked potatoes under the broiler for a few minutes to brown the tops — but truth be told, Nana never bothered, and we never missed it.

### **The Smell of Memories**
More than just a side dish, these potatoes are a reminder of cozy kitchens, family dinners, and the warmth of tradition. They’re the kind of food that speaks to the soul — humble, hearty, and made with love.
So go ahead — plug in that slow cooker, close your eyes, and let the smell fill your home. Just like Nana used to do.
