Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes

Seasonings and 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, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them if you prefer. Leaving the skins on adds texture and nutrients.

- Add Seasoning: Sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes for that signature savory onion flavor.
- Pour Broth: Pour in the beef or chicken broth to add moisture and depth to the dish.
- Add Butter: Dot the top of the potatoes with the small pieces of unsalted butter to enrich the flavor and help create a luscious texture.
- Season: Add salt and pepper to taste to complement the savory ingredients.
- Cook: Cover with the lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, then serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- Use baby potatoes for a quicker cooking time and a tender bite.
- You can substitute the broth with vegetable broth for a lighter option.
- Butter can be replaced with olive oil for a slightly different flavor and healthier fat profile.
- Cook times may vary depending on your slow cooker model; check the potatoes earlier if needed.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure the Lipton onion soup mix used is certified gluten-free.
