Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds of baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
Seasonings & Broth
- 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
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
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 Ingredients: Place the cleaned potatoes in the bottom of your slow cooker in an even layer.
- Add Soup Mix: Evenly sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix over the potatoes to ensure full flavor coverage.
- Pour Broth: Pour in 1 cup of beef broth or chicken broth to keep the potatoes moist and infuse them with savory flavor.
- Add Butter: Dot the top of the potatoes with small pieces of unsalted butter to add richness as it melts during cooking.
- Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind the soup mix already contains some salt.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook the potatoes on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Finish and Serve: Check for tenderness, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- If you use larger potatoes, consider cutting them into halves or quarters for even cooking.
- You can substitute vegetable broth to make this recipe vegetarian friendly, but the flavor will differ slightly.
- Do not add extra salt until after tasting as the Lipton onion soup mix contains salt.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
- For a creamier texture, add a splash of cream or sour cream just before serving.
