Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix (about 1 ounce)
- 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, removing any dirt. If preferred, peel the potatoes, although leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients.
- Layer in the slow cooker: Place the washed (and peeled if desired) potatoes evenly in the bottom of your slow cooker to ensure even cooking.
- Add seasoning: Sprinkle the entire packet of Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes, distributing the flavor all over.
- Pour in the broth: Carefully pour 1 cup of beef or chicken broth over the potatoes and seasoning to provide moisture and enhance the savory taste.
- Add butter: Dot the top of the potatoes with the small pieces of unsalted butter to add richness as it melts during cooking.
- Season and cook: Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Finish and serve: Check for potato tenderness, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
