Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 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 under running water to remove any dirt. Peel them if desired, although this step is optional depending on your preference.
- Layer in Slow Cooker: Place the cleaned potatoes evenly in the bottom of your slow cooker to create a base layer.
- Add Seasoning: Sprinkle the entire packet of Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes, ensuring they are well-coated for maximum flavor.
- Pour Broth: Slowly pour 1 cup of your choice of beef or chicken broth over the potatoes and seasoning to add moisture and enhance the taste.
- Add Butter: Dot the top of the potato mixture with small pieces of unsalted butter, which will melt in and add richness during cooking.
- Season and Cook: Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook the potatoes on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours.
- Check Tenderness and Garnish: Carefully check the potatoes for tenderness by piercing with a fork. Once tender, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top if desired, then serve warm.
Notes
- Use baby potatoes for a more uniform bite-size texture, or Yukon Gold for a creamier consistency.
- You can substitute beef broth with vegetable broth for a milder flavor.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your preference, as the Lipton soup mix can be salty.
- Slow cooker liners can be used for easy cleanup.
- Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
