Slow Cooker Potatoes with Lipton Onion Soup is a flavorful, easy-to-make side dish featuring tender baby red potatoes cooked low and slow with savory Lipton Onion Soup mix, butter, and broth. Perfect for busy weeknights or holiday meals, this recipe delivers rich onion-herb flavor with minimal prep and hands-off cooking.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby red potatoes, rinsed and halved or quartered if large
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) Lipton Onion Soup Mix
  • 3 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup water or broth (vegetable or chicken)

Optional Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the baby red potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut larger potatoes into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking and faster tenderness.
  2. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Place the prepared potatoes in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the Lipton Onion Soup mix evenly over the potatoes. Dot the potatoes with the butter pieces. Pour in the water or broth to keep potatoes moist and prevent sticking.
  3. Cook on Low: Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours. This slow, gentle cooking allows the potatoes to absorb the onion soup flavors while becoming tender yet intact.
  4. Stir and Serve: Once cooked, gently stir the potatoes to coat them thoroughly in the buttery onion sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use uniformly sized potato pieces to ensure even cooking and prevent mushiness.
  • Avoid overcrowding the slow cooker to allow heat to circulate and cook potatoes evenly.
  • Starting with warm water or broth can help speed up the slow cooking process.
  • Check potatoes for tenderness after 6 hours to prevent overcooking and adjust time as needed based on your slow cooker.
  • Dot butter on top before cooking instead of mixing early for richer flavor layers.
  • For a cheesy variation, add shredded cheddar or Parmesan during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  • Use low-sodium soup mix and broth for a reduced salt option.
  • Substitute butter with olive oil and use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
