1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1/4 cup olive oil or melted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions
Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing and quartering the potatoes. No need to peel them; the skin adds texture and flavor.
Season the Potatoes: Place the quartered potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter, then sprinkle the Lipton Onion Soup Mix over the top. If you’re using garlic powder and dried parsley, add them now. Toss the potatoes until they’re evenly coated with the seasoning.
Transfer to Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with a bit of olive oil or butter to prevent sticking. Pour the seasoned potatoes into the slow cooker, spreading them out evenly.
Cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Finish and Serve: Once the potatoes are done, give them a gentle stir to distribute the seasoning. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper if necessary. For a touch of freshness, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
