Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby red potatoes, washed and halved if large
  • 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix (about 1 ounce)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, cut into small pats
  • 34 garlic cloves, whole and peeled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the baby red potatoes thoroughly. Cut larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking. There is no need to peel them as the skins add texture and nutrients.
  2. Layer Ingredients in the Slow Cooker: Place the prepared potatoes in the slow cooker. Evenly sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix over the potatoes. Add the whole garlic cloves and distribute the pats of butter throughout for flavor and moisture.
  3. Cook on Low: Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain consistent heat and accurate cooking time.
  4. Stir and Serve: Once cooked, gently stir the potatoes to coat them evenly with the onion soup sauce. Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for added color and freshness before serving.

Notes

  • Use potatoes of uniform size to ensure even cooking and prevent overcooked pieces.
  • Do not skip the butter as it helps meld flavors and adds richness.
  • Cook on low heat for the best texture; avoid using high heat settings.
  • Stir only once at the end to keep potatoes whole and avoid breaking them apart.
  • You can prep the ingredients in the slow cooker insert the night before, cover, and refrigerate for convenient morning cooking.
