Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix (1 oz)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons butter or olive oil, melted
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and halve the baby potatoes evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate. If using larger potatoes, quarter them to maintain uniform size for consistent tenderness.
  2. Mix Ingredients Together: In a large bowl, combine the halved potatoes, Lipton onion soup mix, minced garlic, black pepper, and melted butter or olive oil. Toss thoroughly to evenly coat every surface of the potatoes with the flavorful mixture.
  3. Transfer to Slow Cooker: Pour the well-coated potato mixture into the slow cooker. Spread the potatoes out evenly to promote proper heat distribution and even cooking.
  4. Slow Cook to Perfection: Set the slow cooker to low and cook the potatoes for 4 to 6 hours. The potatoes should be tender, soft, and infused with the savory onion flavor once done.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Once cooked, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for color and freshness. Serve the potatoes warm alongside your favorite main dishes.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking every time.
  • Butter or olive oil helps carry flavors and prevents the potatoes from drying out.
  • Cooking on low heat yields the best texture; avoid using high heat to prevent overcooking.
  • Do not over-stir the potatoes during cooking to keep them intact and tender.
  • Use fresh minced garlic for a more pronounced and fresh flavor.
