Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
Seasoning & Broth
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
- 1 cup beef broth or chicken broth
Other Ingredients
- 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, and peel them if you prefer a smoother texture. Baby potatoes can be left unpeeled for extra rustic appeal.
- Layer Potatoes in Slow Cooker: Place the washed potatoes evenly in the bottom of your slow cooker to allow for even cooking.
- Add Seasoning: Sprinkle the entire packet of Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes, ensuring the seasoning coats them well.
- Pour Broth: Pour 1 cup of beef or chicken broth over the potatoes and seasoning, which adds depth of flavor and keeps the potatoes moist during cooking.
- Add Butter: Dot the top of the potatoes with small pieces of unsalted butter for richness and enhanced taste.
- Season and Cook: Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, check the tenderness of the potatoes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, then serve warm alongside your favorite main dishes.
Notes
- If using larger potatoes, cut them into smaller, evenly sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth instead of beef or chicken broth.
- Adjust seasoning by tasting before serving and adding more salt or pepper if needed.
- Butter can be substituted with olive oil for a dairy-free alternative.
- Slow cooker temperatures vary; check potatoes for doneness slightly earlier the first time you make this.
