Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4-5 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
Seasoning and Flavoring
- 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 and cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking. Place the cubed potatoes into the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Add Seasoning Mix: Sprinkle the Lipton Onion Soup Mix evenly over the potatoes for consistent flavor throughout the dish.
- Add Butter: Distribute the cubed butter on top of the potatoes, which will melt and infuse richness during cooking.
- Add Water and Combine: Pour the 1/2 cup of water over the potatoes and gently stir everything together to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning and butter.
- Optional Olive Oil: Drizzle olive oil over the top if desired, to enhance flavor and add a slight richness.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally during cooking to promote even absorption of flavors.
- Season and Garnish: Once cooked, season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant touch.
- Serve: Serve the potatoes hot as a delicious side dish complementing any main course.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker model; potatoes should be tender when pierced with a fork.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a dairy-free margarine or additional olive oil.
- Stirring occasionally helps prevent potatoes from sticking to the slow cooker and ensures even cooking.
- You can adjust the seasoning by adding garlic powder or smoked paprika for a twist.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
