- 4–5 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
Seasoning & Flavor
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for extra flavor)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and tender texture.
- Place in slow cooker: Arrange the cubed potatoes evenly at the bottom of your slow cooker for uniform heat distribution.
- Add seasoning: Sprinkle the Lipton Onion Soup Mix evenly over the potatoes to coat them with savory flavor.
- Incorporate butter: Distribute the cubed butter on top of the potatoes, which will melt and enrich the dish.
- Add water and mix: Pour the 1/2 cup of water over the potatoes and gently stir to combine and ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with seasoning and moisture.
- Optional olive oil: Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture for added richness and subtle flavor enhancement.
- Cook slowly: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4 to 6 hours, stirring occasionally to promote even cooking until the potatoes are soft and tender.
- Season and garnish: Once cooked, season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired for a fresh finish.
- Serve hot: Serve the potatoes immediately as a warm, flavorful side dish complementing your favorite entrée.
Notes
- Stir the potatoes occasionally during cooking to prevent sticking and ensure even flavor distribution.
- You can use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes depending on your preference for texture.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with a plant-based margarine or omit it altogether.
- If desired, add additional herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra aroma.
- Adjust salt carefully as Lipton Onion Soup Mix already contains salt.
