Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 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
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You may peel them if you prefer, though leaving the skins on adds texture and nutrients.
- Layer in Slow Cooker: Place the potatoes evenly at the bottom of your slow cooker, creating a base for even cooking.
- Add Onion Soup Mix: Sprinkle the entire packet of Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes for a savory onion flavor.
- Pour Broth: Pour one cup of beef or chicken broth over the potatoes and seasoning, which will keep them moist and infuse flavor during cooking.
- Add Butter: Dot the potatoes with small pieces of the unsalted butter, which will melt during cooking to add richness.
- 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.
- Finish and Serve: Check the potatoes for tenderness by piercing them with a fork. Once ready, garnish with optional fresh parsley for added color and freshness before serving.
Notes
- You can use either baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes based on your preference; Yukon Gold provides a buttery flavor and creamy texture.
- If you like a stronger onion flavor, you can add an extra half packet of onion soup mix.
- Butter can be substituted with olive oil for a different flavor profile, though it will change the richness.
- Adding fresh herbs such as thyme or rosemary during slow cooking can enhance the flavor.
- If you want a lower sodium option, choose reduced-sodium broth and a low-sodium onion soup mix.
- For a vegetarian variation, use vegetable broth instead of beef or chicken broth.
