• 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

Instructions

4. Pour Broth: Pour 1 cup of beef broth or chicken broth over the potatoes and seasoning to keep them moist and flavorful while cooking.
5. Add Butter: Dot the potatoes with small pieces of unsalted butter, distributing them on top so they melt into every bite during cooking.
6. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste according to your preference, keeping in mind the soup mix already contains some seasoning.
7. Cook: 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 fork-tender.
8. Finish and Serve: Once the potatoes are tender, check seasoning again, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm as a delicious savory side dish.

Notes

• You can use either baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes depending on your texture preference.
• Peeling the potatoes is optional; leaving the skin on adds nutrients and a rustic feel.
• The cooking time may vary slightly based on your slow cooker model and potato size.
• Using beef broth will give a richer flavor; chicken broth offers a lighter taste.
• For a dairy-free version, omit the butter or substitute with dairy-free margarine.
• Fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness but can be omitted if unavailable.
