Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
Seasoning and Broth
- 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
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Peel them if you prefer, though leaving the skins on adds texture and nutrients.
- Place Potatoes in Slow Cooker: Arrange the cleaned potatoes evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker pot.
- Add Onion Soup Mix: Sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes, ensuring good coverage for flavor.
- Pour Broth Over Potatoes: Pour 1 cup of beef or chicken broth over the potatoes and soup mix to add moisture and depth of flavor.
- Add Butter: Dot the top of the potatoes with small pieces of unsalted butter to enrich the dish during cooking.
- Season and Cook: Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and flavorful.
- Check and Garnish: Test the potatoes for tenderness with a fork. If ready, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- Baby potatoes are preferred for a more tender texture but Yukon Gold potatoes also work well.
- You can substitute beef broth with chicken broth or vegetable broth for different flavor profiles.
- Butter can be replaced with olive oil for a healthier fat option.
- Adjust salt according to the saltiness of the broth and Lipton soup mix.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or a fresh green salad.
- Leftovers keep well and can be reheated in a microwave or stovetop.
