Description
These flavorful, tender potatoes are a breeze to make in the slow cooker, and they get a boost of flavor from Lipton Onion Soup mix. Perfect for a hands-off side dish, they’re a crowd-pleaser for family dinners or gatherings.
Ingredients
- 6 large potatoes, thinly sliced (peeling optional)
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup mix
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or butter, for greasing
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the slow cooker: Grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
2️⃣ Prep the potatoes: If desired, peel the potatoes, then slice them thinly and evenly for consistent cooking.
3️⃣ Season the potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the potato slices with melted butter. Sprinkle the Lipton Onion Soup mix over the potatoes and stir until they’re well-coated. If using cheddar cheese, mix it in with the potatoes at this stage.
4️⃣ Layer in the slow cooker: Arrange the seasoned potatoes in the slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth or water evenly over the top to add moisture.
5️⃣ Cook: Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the potatoes are tender and fully cooked.
6️⃣ Season and serve: Once done, season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot as a comforting and savory side dish.
Notes
- For extra creaminess: Try adding a few dollops of sour cream or a splash of heavy cream to the potatoes before serving.
- Cheesy upgrade: Top with additional cheddar cheese in the last 10-15 minutes of cooking and let it melt for a cheesy crust on top.
- Garnish option: Sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives for a fresh, colorful touch before serving.
