Featuring baby or Yukon Gold potatoes slow-cooked with Lipton onion soup mix, broth, butter, and seasonings, this comforting side dish is perfect for family meals or gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes

Seasonings & Broth

  • 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
  • 1 cup beef broth or chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Butter & Garnish

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt; peel if you prefer smoother texture or keep the skins on for added nutrients and rustic appeal.
  2. Layer Potatoes in Slow Cooker: Place the cleaned potatoes evenly at the bottom of your slow cooker to ensure uniform cooking.
  3. Add Onion Soup Mix: Sprinkle the entire packet of Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes to spread the savory flavor throughout.
  4. Pour Broth: Pour 1 cup of beef or chicken broth over the potatoes and soup mix, which adds moisture to cook the potatoes gently and infuse them with rich taste.
  5. Add Butter: Dot small pieces of unsalted butter on top of the potatoes to enrich the dish with creamy flavor as it melts during cooking.
  6. Season and Cook: Season with salt and pepper to taste, then cover the slow cooker. Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours until potatoes are tender and infused with seasoning.
  7. Check and Garnish: Test potatoes for tenderness with a fork. Once done, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, then serve warm as a hearty side dish.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of broth slightly if you prefer thicker or thinner sauce.
  • Butter can be substituted with olive oil for a healthier version.

  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
