Method:

1. Wash and slice mini potatoes into halves or thirds. Place in slow cooker.
2. Add oil, shallot, garlic and spices. Stir.
3. Begin with high heat for one hour, then turn down to cook for 2 - 3 hours, until soft.
4. About 1 hour before serving, stir in cream if desired. 
5. Serve with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley or chives.
