Delicious! I added the potatoes 1.5 hours before the roast was done. When the potatoes and roast were finished cooking, I removed them from the crockpot and put foil over the platter to keep everything warm. I then turned the crockpot up to high and added some water with cornstarch to thicken - voila! Yummy gravy to serve over the meat and potatoes.

Sorry, this did not work for me. The roast was mostly raw (and I like rare meat). Had to cut off the ends and put it back in the oven to finish cooking.

I made this recipe tonight, and followed other reviewers' suggestions of adding a little chicken broth during the first roasting time. Very good idea - as the garlic cloves would have burned otherwise! I also added 20 minutes to the second half of cooking time. The game hens were delicious. The sauce had a really good flavor, but was very greasy and oily. Sadly, the sauce went into the trash, as we could not eat it. Perhaps the game hens I purchased were overly fatty? I will try a modified version of this recipe again, with a regular roasting chicken - as we did enjoy the flavors.
