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
- 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.
- Layer Potatoes in Slow Cooker: Place the cleaned potatoes evenly at the bottom of your slow cooker to ensure uniform cooking.
- Add Onion Soup Mix: Sprinkle the entire packet of Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes to spread the savory flavor throughout.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- Use baby potatoes for quicker cooking or Yukon Gold for a buttery texture.
- 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.
- Adding garlic powder or fresh garlic can enhance the flavor profile.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
