Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
Seasoning
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
- Salt and pepper to taste
Liquids & Fats
- 1 cup beef broth or chicken broth
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Garnish
- Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skins on adds texture and nutrients.
- Layer Ingredients: Place the potatoes at the bottom of your slow cooker. Evenly sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix over the potatoes to distribute the seasoning.
- Add Broth and Butter: Pour in the beef or chicken broth, which helps cook the potatoes and infuses them with flavor. Dot the top with small pieces of unsalted butter to add richness.
- Season and Cook: Add salt and pepper according to your taste. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Finish and Serve: Once cooked, check the potatoes for tenderness. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve hot as a savory side dish.
Notes
- For a deeper, richer flavor, use beef broth instead of chicken broth.
- Feel free to add other herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra aroma.
- To make the dish vegetarian, substitute the broth with vegetable broth.
- You can prepare the ingredients ahead and refrigerate them; cook in the slow cooker when ready.
