Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 lbs potatoes
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
Side Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter
Seasoning/Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash and scrub potatoes, then slice them into uniform, medium-thick rounds to ensure even cooking and consistent texture.
- Generously coat the interior of a slow cooker with non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Layer the potato slices inside the slow cooker, creating even, slightly overlapping rows to maximize space and cooking efficiency.
- Sprinkle the entire packet of Lipton onion soup mix evenly across the potato layers, ensuring comprehensive seasoning coverage.
- Cut butter into small cubes and distribute them strategically over the potatoes to help distribute rich, creamy flavor during cooking.
- Pour chicken broth carefully around the potatoes, allowing liquid to settle at the bottom without disturbing the seasoning layer.
- Season with black pepper and salt, using a light hand to complement the robust onion soup mix flavor profile.
- Cover slow cooker and set to LOW heat, allowing potatoes to simmer and absorb flavors for approximately 4-5 hours until tender when pierced with a fork.
- Gently stir potatoes once midway through cooking to redistribute seasonings and ensure uniform tenderness.
- Once potatoes reach desired softness, turn off slow cooker and let rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and settle.
Notes
- Slice potatoes uniformly to guarantee consistent cooking and prevent uneven texture that might result in some pieces being too soft or too firm.
- Experiment with different potato varieties like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for varied flavor profiles and textures, keeping the cooking method consistent.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium chicken broth and half a packet of onion soup mix if watching salt intake, without compromising the overall delicious taste.
- Transform this side dish into a vegetarian option by substituting chicken broth with vegetable broth and adding extra herbs like thyme or rosemary for depth of flavor.
