Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to create this comforting dish:
- 2 pounds of baby potatoes, halved
- 1 packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
If you’re out of Lipton Onion Soup Mix, you can substitute it with a mix of dried onion flakes, beef bouillon granules, and a touch of celery seed. It’s not quite the same, but it’ll do in a pinch!
Instructions
- Start by washing and halving your baby potatoes. I find that keeping the skin on adds a lovely texture and visual appeal.
- In a large bowl, combine the halved potatoes, Lipton Onion Soup Mix, melted butter, olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are well coated.
- Transfer the potato mixture to your slow cooker. Spread them out in an even layer for consistent cooking.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the potatoes are tender. You’ll know they’re done when a fork easily pierces through.
- Once cooked, give the potatoes a gentle stir to ensure the flavors are well distributed.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving, if desired. It adds a pop of color and a touch of freshness.
This recipe is a breeze, making it ideal for those days when you want a home-cooked meal without spending hours in the kitchen. Just set it and forget it!
