Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
Seasoning and Liquids
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
- 1 cup beef broth or chicken broth
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water. You may peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skins on adds texture and nutrients.
- Arrange in slow cooker: Place the cleaned potatoes at the bottom of your slow cooker, ensuring they are spread evenly.
- Add onion soup mix: Sprinkle the entire packet of Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes to infuse them with savory onion flavors.
- Pour broth: Pour 1 cup of beef or chicken broth over the potatoes and seasoning to provide moisture and enhance flavor during cooking.
- Add butter: Dot the top of the potatoes with small pieces of unsalted butter, which will melt and enrich the dish with creaminess.
- Season and cook: Season with salt and pepper to taste, cover the slow cooker with its lid, and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
- Finish and serve: Check the potatoes for tenderness using a fork, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- Using baby potatoes with skin on adds texture and nutrients, but peeling is optional.
- You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Adjust salt according to the saltiness of the onion soup mix and broth used.
- Garnishing with parsley adds freshness and color but is optional.
- Slow cooker times may vary depending on the model; check tenderness at the minimum cooking time.
