Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds of baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
Seasonings and Liquids
- 1 packet of Lipton onion soup mix
- 1 cup of beef broth or chicken broth
- ¼ cup of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You may peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients.
- Layer in Slow Cooker: Place the cleaned potatoes evenly at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Add Soup Mix: Sprinkle the entire packet of Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes to coat them well.
- Pour Broth: Pour one cup of beef or chicken broth over the potatoes and soup mix, ensuring even distribution for flavor.
- Add Butter: Dot the top with small pieces of unsalted butter to add richness as the potatoes cook.
- Season and Cook: Season with salt and pepper to taste, cover the slow cooker, and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, check for tenderness, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- For a richer, deeper flavor, use beef broth instead of chicken broth.
- Feel free to add additional herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or garlic powder to customize the dish to your taste.
- If potatoes are larger, you may want to cut them into halves or quarters for even cooking.
- This recipe is great for preparing ahead and can be kept warm in the slow cooker for 1 to 2 hours after cooking.
