If you’re looking for a delicious easy and flavorful pork roast and potatoes recipe, I’ve got just the recipe for you! This 5 ingredient crock pot pork roast and potatoes recipes comes together in a flash and is so delicious, the whole family will be gobbling this up in no time!
I absolutely love making recipes in the slow cooker (see more slow cooker – crock pot recipes). Slow cooker/crock pot recipes have low hands on time and are very set-it-and-forget-it type meals.
The slow cooker is such a fantastic way to get a delicious meal on the table without much hands on time! Take for example this recipe – all you do is literally put the ingredients in a slow cooker (and there’s only 5 ingredients: pork roast, potatoes, garlic salt, Italian seasoning and chicken broth) and then set it and forget it.
Yay for 5 ingredient Fridays!
You could put the ingredients for this pork roast and potatoes recipe in the slow cooker in the morning before heading out the door to work and let it cook on low all day until you get home (the meat will be suuuuper tender), or you could put it in the slow cooker in the morning or afternoon on the weekend for a delicious family dinner for 4 hours (the pork cuts into nice slices in 4 hours on high).
Whichever way you cook it, this 5 ingredient slow cooker pork roast and potatoes is one amazing dish that I think you’re really going to enjoy!
This recipe for a super easy 5 ingredient crock pot pork roast and potatoes is great for a meal you can just put together in the crock pot and let cook! Put the pork roast in a slow cooker. Arrange cut potatoes around the roast. Sprinkle garlic salt over the roast and potatoes, and then sprinkle the Italian seasoning around over the pork roast. Pour chicken broth into the slow cooker. Place lid on and cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 8 hour If cooking it on low, remove the roast and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice it before serving.5 Ingredient Crock Pot Pork Roast and Potatoes Recipe

I am a single father and came across your recipe for pork roast–I am actually getting this ready to try for tomorrow—is there any other recipes you can give me to help me–I work very weird hours and have very little time at home with my son–he is 17 and sometimes gets picky with what he will eat–because of my hours and limited budget I need recipes that are reasonable cost and preferably in crockpot or slow cooker–my son doesnt care for cheese and I dont like tomato chunks or fish!!—any help to keep providing him with healthy meals and me being able to spend time with him is appreciated!!——–THANK YOU!!!
SINCERELY,
DOUG HETLAND

Hi Doug, so happy you came across my site! I think you’ll find a lot of great recipes.

Or you can view all of my slow cooker recipes here: https://sweetphi.com/category/slow-cookercrock-pot/
Hope that helps!

Hi Cheryl, Nutritional values are approximate. If you require a special diet, please use your own calculations. Values below are for 1/6th of the recipe. Thank you
Amy says
I’m anxious to try this recipe. If I use the low setting on the crock pot, do I put the potatoes in with the roast, or wait? I don’t want the red potatoes to be over cooked after 7-8 hours. Thanks!!
Sweetphi says
I think you’ll love this recipe. I put the potatoes in with the roast – they do get super soft and tender, so if you want them not cooked like that, then you can put them in whenever you think you’ll like them (probably around hour 4). Hope that helps

Suuuuper excited. Trying this tonight with fam. Two children and two adults. This is easy and already smells great!! Cant wait to try! Thank you for this super easy recipe 🙏
Cheryl says
Can you use white potatoes with the reds? I have afew of both.
Sweetphi says
Yes of course!
MAURA ALIA BADJI says
I don’t know where it all went wrong. Lol! I followed the recipe but used golden potatoes instead of red. Cooked it on high for 4 hours. But somehow my finished meal did not look as good as the featured photos. The meat looked boiled. Everything TASTED GREAT—but the look and texture of the meat said: BOILED.
Sweetphi says
Glad to hear that your end results weren’t as expected. This is a slow cooker recipe, so the meat won’t look baked, what I like to do is add the seasoning on top. You could have maybe added a little too much liquid if it was boiled-like? It should be cooked through but with the amount of liquid listed in the recipe the roast shouldn’t be submerged in liquid. Hope that helps.
Judy says
I made this recipe for the first time following the directions exactly and while it was good it was a bit bland. Any suggestions? How can I kick up the flavor now that it’s made and if I make it again? Thank you.
Sweetphi says
Hi Judy, thanks for the comment. You could add a bit more seasoning, the other suggestion I’d have would be to saute a little onion and garlic and add that into the slow cooker, that always amps up the flavor 🙂
Melissa Justice says
Can I use beef broth instead of chicken.
Sweetphi says
Of course! It will be equally as delicious
Amy J. says
Have you ever added carrots in with it?
Sweetphi says
I haven’t, but I think that would be great!!
Thea says
I have and it is just as fantastic!!! I throw the carrots in at the same time as everything else. Perfect.
Sweetphi says
I’m so happy to hear that!!!
ellen says
How can the 5 ingredient roast pork and potatoes be 868 calories per serving. I’m hoping this is a typo!!?????
Sweetphi says
Oh my goodness, thank you for pointing that out. Definitely a glitch! The nutrition calculator gets a little creative sometimes lol. I’ll work on updating that!
Erika says
This was great. We had 6 for dinner and everyone just loved it, wanted to know how I managed to get so much flavor out of the pork, tastes soooo good. And tender, yum. Will definitely make again.
Sweetphi says
Yay, this make me so happy to hear. So glad you and everyone loved this dish!!
