- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Liquids and Fats
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Place the cubed potatoes into the bottom of your slow cooker, ensuring an even layer for consistent cooking.
- Season Potatoes: Sprinkle the Lipton Onion Soup Mix evenly over the potatoes to distribute flavor thoroughly.
- Add Butter: Dot the cubed butter on top of the seasoned potatoes to melt in during cooking, adding richness.
- Add Water and Mix: Pour the 1/2 cup water over the potatoes and gently stir everything together so the potatoes are coated evenly with the soup mix and butter.
- Add Olive Oil (Optional): Drizzle the tablespoon of olive oil over the potatoes for added moisture and enhanced flavor.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours until potatoes are tender and fully cooked, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

- Serve: Serve hot as a delicious side dish to complement your favorite main courses.
Notes
- You can use red, Yukon gold, or Russet potatoes depending on your preference.
- Stirring occasionally helps the potatoes cook evenly and prevents sticking.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative and omit the olive oil if desired.
- Cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker; check tenderness at 4 hours to avoid overcooking.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
