Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby red or Yukon Gold potatoes, halved if large
Seasoning and Flavor
- 1 packet (1 ounce) Lipton onion soup mix
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 cup water
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. If some are larger, cut them in halves to ensure even cooking and better flavor absorption.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the potatoes in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes. Add butter pieces on top, then pour the cup of water over everything to help distribute flavors and tenderize the potatoes.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the potatoes are fork-tender and infused with the onion seasoning.
- Finish and Serve: Gently toss the cooked potatoes in the flavorful sauce to coat them well. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top before serving for a fresh, vibrant touch.
Notes
- Choose baby red potatoes for the best texture that holds together without becoming mushy.
- Don’t skip the butter, as it enhances richness and flavor.
- Spread the soup mix evenly for consistent seasoning throughout.
- Avoid overcrowding the slow cooker so that potatoes cook evenly.
- Cooking on low heat allows flavors to blend beautifully.
