Which is better boiled red potatoes or crockpot red potatoes? We all know which is quicker, so I’m sure you make the one you have time for regardless of taste. But have you ever compared which tastes better? With the boiled red potatoes I’m going to add garlic and parsley, while with the crockpot red potatoes there will be ranch dressing mix and chives.
