Ingredients:

  • 6 large potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup mix
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or butter for greasing

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

  1. Slice the potatoes: Thinly slice the potatoes into rounds, about ¼ inch thick, ensuring uniform slices so they cook evenly. Set aside.

Step 2: Grease the Slow Cooker

  1. Grease the slow cooker: Spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or rub it with butter to prevent sticking.

Step 3: Layer the Potatoes

  1. Add the potatoes: Layer the thinly sliced potatoes evenly in the bottom of the greased slow cooker.

Step 4: Season and Add Liquids

  1. Add the seasoning: Sprinkle the entire packet of Lipton Onion Soup mix evenly over the potatoes.
  2. Add the butter and broth: Drizzle the melted butter and chicken broth (or water) over the potatoes, making sure to coat them well. The broth will help cook and soften the potatoes while infusing them with flavor.
  3. Season with salt and pepper: Add salt and pepper to taste, but be mindful as the soup mix already contains some salt.

Step 5: Slow Cook the Potatoes

  1. Cook: Set your slow cooker to low heat and cook the potatoes for 4-5 hours, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork. For quicker cooking, you can set the slow cooker to high heat for 2-3 hours.

Step 6: Optional – Add Cheddar Cheese

  1. Cheese option: If you’re using shredded cheddar cheese, sprinkle it over the potatoes during the last 20-30 minutes of cooking. Cover the slow cooker and allow the cheese to melt and become bubbly.

Step 7: Serve

  1. Serve: Once the potatoes are fully cooked and the cheese (if using) is melted, give the dish a gentle stir to mix the flavors. Serve hot as a side dish to your favorite meals.

Conclusion:

These Slow Cooker Lipton Onion Potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that will quickly become a family favorite. The Lipton Onion Soup mix brings out a savory depth of flavor, while the slow cooker ensures the potatoes come out tender and infused with buttery goodness. Whether you choose to add the optional cheddar cheese or keep it simple, this dish is perfect for any meal and requires minimal effort. Just set it, forget it, and enjoy a comforting, flavorful side!
