Slow Cooker Lipton Onion Potatoes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

  2. Slice the Potatoes: Scrub the potatoes clean. You can peel them or leave the skins on for a rustic touch. Slice them into thin, uniform rounds, about ¼-inch thick, for even cooking.

  3. Coat and Season: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato slices with the melted butter. Toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle the entire packet of onion soup mix over the potatoes and stir thoroughly to ensure every slice is covered in the savory seasoning.

  4. Add Cheese (Optional): For a cheesy, decadent twist, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese at this point.

  5. Layer in Slow Cooker: Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared slow cooker, spreading it into an even layer. Pour the chicken broth (or water) evenly over the top. This adds moisture and helps create a delicious sauce.

  6. Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours. The potatoes are done when they are fork-tender and easily pierced.

  7. Season and Serve: Before serving, give the potatoes a gentle stir. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot and enjoy the rave reviews!

💡 Pro Tips & Variations

  • Potato Choice: Yukon Gold potatoes are fantastic here as they hold their shape well and have a naturally buttery flavor.

  • Get Crispy (Optional): For a crispy top, transfer the cooked potatoes to a baking dish and broil for 2-4 minutes until the edges are golden brown.

  • Add More Flavor: Stir in a clove of minced garlic with the soup mix, or top with fresh chopped chives or parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.

  • Make it a Meal: This is the perfect side for roasted chicken, pork chops, or grilled steak.
