Ingredients For Slow Cooker Lipton Onion Potatoes

  • 2 lbs baby red potatoes (or Yukon gold), halved or quartered

  • 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix (about 1 oz)

  • 3 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)

  • 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (optional for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prep potatoes – Wash and cut potatoes into halves or quarters for even cooking.

  2. Mix seasoning – In a large bowl, combine potatoes, olive oil, soup mix, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss until well coated.

  3. Slow cook – Transfer potatoes to your slow cooker and spread evenly. Cover and cook:

    • On LOW for 5–6 hours

    • Or HIGH for 2.5–3 hours

  4. Finish & serve – Stir gently, garnish with parsley, and sprinkle Parmesan if desired. Serve warm as a side dish.

Notes

  • Works with any potato variety—russet, Yukon gold, or red.

  • Don’t add extra salt at first, as the soup mix is already salty. Taste before adjusting.

  • If you want crispy edges, place cooked potatoes under the broiler for 5 minutes.

  • Add veggies (like carrots or green beans) for a complete side dish.

Tips

  • Line your slow cooker with a liner or lightly spray with cooking spray for easy cleanup.

  • For extra richness, swap olive oil with melted butter.

  • Add shredded cheddar or mozzarella in the last 10 minutes for cheesy potatoes.

  • Leftovers reheat well in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes.

Servings

  • Serves 6 people as a side dish.
