At 5 Plus Points per serving, this is not what I would call "skinny" recipe (Weight Watchers Plus Points). Can you suggest a lower fat version?
There's an error in the recipe, run it through the recipe builder on the weight watchers website. It says 1/4 tablespoon and there's no way its 9grams of fat per serving with that small of an amount. Hope this helps.
The extra points are coming from the olive oil. You could always cook the potatoes with a bit of chicken stock but they won't brown like this. The browning is due to the olive oil. I had to quit weight watchers because I just couldnt fit it all the healthy fats I needed with the limited amount of points I got :/
Recipe shows 1/4 tablespoon of oil. That can't be right
recipe shows 1/4 cup not 1/4 tblsp
what size is each serving?
Viceve115, That depends on the size of your potatoes…around 2/3 cup.
Can I use vegetable oil??
You can, just not as healthy as olive oil. 🙂
Curejenn,
Thank you for that explanation! Healthy fats are a must.
How many pounds of potatoes would this be? I like the smaller red potatoes.
Nacota, About 2 medium or 4 small potatoes.
If I cut the oil in half, will it come out the same?
Pam, Can't say for sure since I've never cut the oil in half. Keep in mind that olive oil is a healthy fat. Try using 3 tablespoons and that should still work.
I made these yesterday, they were delicious! Thanks for the recipe! I used the smaller red potatoes, they seem to cook a little faster, just an FYI for others.
Amber, Thanks for the tip!
This is a skinny/healthy recipe. The fat in the oil is all good fat. Unfortunately if you want something that is going to fit in your point scale, I would find something else (although, as suggested below, you could cook with stock, but they will not turn out the same). I do not know anything about WW points, but I do know that your body needs healthy fats 🙂
Thanks for your comment! 🙂
So, what WERE the points when you put it through the recipe builder, if you know?
Thanks.
Patti, Points? Do you mean WW Points?
If you want it even more unbelievably good…prepare a meatloaf, pat it out on top of potatoes and let cook all together. SO GOOD!
Vicki, Love that idea!!! Thanks.
Love homestyle potatoes and this slow cooker recipe is delicious!
Jan, Thanks!
after reading all the reviews; Im left confused? Is there a error on the EVOO as stated & if so, how much. I do not follow WW points but just try to watch a little of everything in general.
Dorene, 1/4 cup is correct. We use evoo because of its health benefits…it's a healthy fat!
Olive Oil is a healthy fat…don't think weight watchers distinguishes between healthy fats and unhealthy ones or complex carbs and simple carbs. Our recipes use healthy fats and complex carbs. For example, walnuts are also very high in fat but are one of the healthiest foods available.
A slow cooker recipe for potatoes that is delicious and less mess. Win-win-win!
The whole family LOVES this super easy and delicious recipe!! 🙂
