Description

These Slow Cooker Lipton Onion Potatoes are a delicious and effortless side dish featuring tender baby or Yukon Gold potatoes simmered with savory Lipton onion soup mix, broth, and butter. Perfect for busy days, this recipe yields a flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth accompaniment with minimal prep and hands-off cooking in the slow cooker.


Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds of baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes

Seasoning and Flavor

  • 1 packet of Lipton onion soup mix
  • 1 cup of beef broth or chicken broth
  • ¼ cup of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Peel them if desired, though leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients.
  2. Layer in slow cooker: Place the prepared potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker in an even layer.
  3. Add seasoning: Sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes to distribute flavor.
  4. Pour broth: Pour 1 cup of beef or chicken broth over the potatoes and seasoning to add moisture and depth.
  5. Top with butter: Dot the top of the potatoes with small pieces of unsalted butter to enrich the dish as it cooks.
  6. Season and cook: Add salt and pepper to 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.
  7. Check tenderness and garnish: Test the potatoes for tenderness with a fork. Once done, garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Using baby potatoes keeps the dish intact; Yukon Gold potatoes can be peeled or unpeeled based on preference.
  • The broth choice affects flavor — beef broth adds richness, while chicken broth offers a lighter taste.
  • Butter can be substituted with olive oil for a healthier option.
  • Adjust salt carefully as the Lipton onion soup mix contains some sodium.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker model; check doneness before serving.
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high
