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
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the baby or Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly under running water. Peel them if you prefer, though leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients.
- Arrange in Slow Cooker: Place the cleaned potatoes at the bottom of your slow cooker in an even layer for uniform cooking.
- Add Seasonings: Sprinkle the entire packet of Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes to infuse them with full onion and herb flavor.
- Pour Broth: Pour 1 cup of beef broth or chicken broth over the potatoes and seasoning to keep them moist and flavorful while cooking.
- Add Butter: Dot the potatoes with small pieces of unsalted butter, distributing them on top so they melt into every bite during cooking.
- Season: Add salt and pepper to taste according to your preference, keeping in mind the soup mix already contains some seasoning.
- 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.
- 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.
