Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1.5 to 2 pounds baby potatoes (red or gold), washed and halved

Seasoning Mix

  • 1 (1 oz) package Lipton onion soup mix
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted (or olive oil for vegan option)

Additional Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup water or broth (vegetable or chicken)
  • Fresh herbs (optional): parsley or thyme, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Wash and halve the baby potatoes to ensure even cooking and better seasoning absorption. Keep the skins on to preserve texture and nutrients.
  2. Mix the Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the Lipton onion soup mix, garlic powder, and melted butter or olive oil. This creates a rich, flavorful coating for the potatoes.
  3. Combine in the Slow Cooker: Place the potatoes into the slow cooker. Pour the seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss gently to coat evenly. Add the water or broth to help steam the potatoes during cooking.
  4. Cook Low and Slow: Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Avoid opening the lid frequently to keep heat and moisture consistent.
  5. Finish and Serve: Stir the potatoes gently, sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy fluffy, flavorful potatoes that complement any meal.

Notes

  • Choose uniform potato sizes for even cooking and consistent tenderness.
  • Do not skip adding liquid; a small amount of broth or water prevents the potatoes from drying out.
  • Toss potatoes well in the seasoning mix to ensure full flavor in every bite.
  • Cooking on low heat preserves texture without overcooking or making potatoes mushy.
  • Add fresh herbs like thyme or parsley at the end to brighten the dish.
