Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds of baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
Seasoning and Broth
- 1 packet of Lipton onion soup mix
- 1 cup of beef broth or chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
- ¼ cup of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Peel them if you prefer, though baby potatoes can be left unpeeled for texture and nutrition.
- Layer Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Place the cleaned potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker. Evenly sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix over the top of the potatoes for an all-around flavor infusion.
- Add Broth and Butter: Pour in your choice of beef or chicken broth, or vegetable broth to keep it vegetarian. Dot the potatoes with small pieces of unsalted butter to create a rich, silky texture while 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 the potatoes are tender and flavorful.
- Final Touch and Serve: Carefully check the potatoes for tenderness. Once done, garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm as a delicious side dish with your favorite main course.

- You can customize the flavor by adding your favorite herbs or spices, such as thyme or rosemary.
