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!

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

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!!

  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

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.

  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.

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.

  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 🙂
