How I Make Slow Cooker Lipton Onion Potatoes
1. Prep the Potatoes
I start by washing and quartering my baby potatoes. If I’m using larger potatoes, I cut them into bite-sized pieces.
2. Mix the Seasoning
In a large mixing bowl, I toss the potatoes with olive oil or melted butter, the Lipton Onion Soup Mix, garlic powder, and a little salt and pepper. I make sure every piece is well coated in that savory seasoning blend.
3. Add to the Slow Cooker
I transfer the seasoned potatoes into my slow cooker, spreading them out evenly.
4. Slow Cook
I cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the potatoes are tender and infused with all that delicious flavor.
5. Garnish and Serve
Right before serving, I give the potatoes a gentle stir and sprinkle them with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
