Ingredients

• 2 pounds (900 g) russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized chunks
• 1 packet (1 oz / 28 g) Lipton Onion Soup Mix
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon dried parsley
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup chicken broth (optional, for extra moisture)
• Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly.

Leave the skins on for added texture and flavor, or peel them if you prefer.

Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks so they cook evenly.

Place them into the slow cooker.

Step 2: Prepare the Seasoning Mixture

In a medium bowl, combine:

• Melted butter
• Olive oil
• Lipton Onion Soup Mix
• Garlic powder
• Black pepper
• Smoked paprika
• Dried parsley
• Dried thyme
• Minced garlic

Mix until everything is well combined.

Step 3: Assemble in the Slow Cooker

Add the sliced onions over the potatoes.

Pour the seasoning mixture evenly over the top.

If using chicken broth, pour it around the edges of the slow cooker.

Gently toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Cover with the lid.

Step 4: Slow Cook

Cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours.

About halfway through the cooking time, gently stir the potatoes to ensure they cook evenly and absorb all the flavorful butter and onion mixture.

Continue cooking until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 5: Finish Before Serving

Once the potatoes are fully cooked, gently stir them one final time.

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh burst of color and flavor.

Serve immediately while hot.
