Ingredients
Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
Seasoning and Liquids
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
- 1 cup beef broth or chicken broth
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly. You may peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on offers added texture and nutrients.
- Place in the Slow Cooker: Place the prepared potatoes evenly in the bottom of your slow cooker to ensure even cooking throughout.
- Add the Soup Mix: Sprinkle the packet of Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes to infuse them with rich onion flavor.
- Pour the Broth: Pour in 1 cup of beef or chicken broth over the potatoes and soup mix to keep them moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Add Butter: Dot the top of the potatoes with small pieces of ¼ cup unsalted butter for a creamy, rich finish.
- 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 potatoes are fork-tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, check for tenderness. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then serve warm as a savory side dish.
Notes
- You can use either baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes depending on your texture preference.
- Leaving the potato skins on adds more nutrients and a rustic texture.
- Use either beef or chicken broth based on your taste or dietary preference.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your seasoning needs since the soup mix already contains salt.
- For a creamier texture, you can add a splash of cream or sour cream before serving.
- Make sure potatoes are evenly distributed in the slow cooker for uniform cooking.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
