Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
Seasoning
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
- Salt and pepper to taste
Liquids & Fat
- 1 cup beef broth or chicken broth
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Optional Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the baby or Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if you prefer, though leaving the skins on adds texture and nutrients.
- Layer Potatoes in Slow Cooker: Place the cleaned potatoes evenly in the bottom of your slow cooker to create a single layer for even cooking.
- Add Seasoning: Sprinkle the entire packet of Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes to ensure maximum flavor distribution.
- Pour Broth: Pour 1 cup of either beef or chicken broth over the potatoes and seasoning to keep them moist and infuse savory taste.
- Add Butter: Dot the potatoes with small pieces of the ¼ cup unsalted butter. This will melt during cooking to create a rich and creamy texture.
- Season: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste for balanced seasoning.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours, checking for fork-tender potatoes at the end.
- Serve: Once tender, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- Choose baby potatoes for a creamier texture or Yukon Gold for a more buttery flavor.
- Do not overfill the slow cooker for even cooking.
- Try using vegetable broth for a subtle variation.
- Butter can be substituted with olive oil for a dairy-free option, though flavor will differ.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or chives to add color and fresh herbal notes.
- This dish pairs well with roasted meats or grilled vegetables.
