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
- ¼ cup of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes if you prefer a smoother texture, although baby potatoes typically don’t require peeling.
- Place Potatoes in Slow Cooker: Arrange the washed potatoes evenly in the bottom of your slow cooker vessel to ensure even cooking.
- Add Seasoning: Sprinkle 1 packet of Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes to infuse them with savory onion flavor.
- Pour Broth: Pour 1 cup of beef broth or chicken broth over the potatoes to help them cook gently and absorb moisture.
- Add Butter: Dot the top of the potatoes with small pieces of ¼ cup unsalted butter to enrich the flavor and add creaminess.
- Season and Cook: Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and fully cooked.
- Finish and Serve: Check the potatoes for tenderness by piercing with a fork. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, then serve warm as a delicious side dish.
