Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 to 3 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized chunks

Seasoning

  • 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix (regular or low-sodium)

Fat

  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil

Creaminess

  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (added near the end of cooking)

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Chives, chopped (optional garnish)
  • Cracked black pepper (optional garnish)
  • Paprika (optional garnish)

Optional Variations

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese (for cheesy upgrade)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne (for spicy kick)
  • Fresh rosemary, thyme, or dill (to add with soup mix)
  • Diced onions, bell peppers, and cooked bacon (for slow cooker hash style)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks to ensure even cooking and optimal absorption of flavors.
  2. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Add the potatoes, Lipton Onion Soup Mix, and butter or olive oil into the slow cooker. Toss everything gently to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasoning.
  3. Set and Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for about 4 to 6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart. Avoid lifting the lid frequently to maintain heat and moisture.
  4. Add Creaminess: About 15 minutes before serving, stir in sour cream or Greek yogurt for a rich texture and a slight tang that brightens the dish.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley or chives on top before plating to add a fresh, colorful finish. Optionally, add cracked black pepper or paprika for extra flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for best texture.
  • Don’t skip the butter or oil to enhance richness and prevent sticking.
  • Layer flavors by adding garlic powder or fresh minced garlic if desired.
  • Set a timer on your slow cooker to avoid overcooking and maintain ideal texture.
