These Onion Potatoes are a savory and easy-to-make side dish featuring tender baby or Yukon Gold potatoes slow-cooked in a flavorful mix of Lipton onion soup, broth, and butter. Perfect for family dinners or holiday meals, this recipe requires minimal prep and delivers comforting, savory goodness.

  • Total Time: 6 hours 10 minutes to 8 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes

Seasonings and Broth

  • 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
  • 1 cup beef broth or chicken broth
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes if desired, though leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients.
  2. Layer Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Place the washed (and peeled if chosen) potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker in an even layer for uniform cooking.
  3. Add Seasoning: Sprinkle the entire packet of Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes to ensure they absorb all the onion and seasoning flavors.
  4. Pour Broth: Pour 1 cup of beef or chicken broth over the potatoes and onion soup mix, providing moisture for slow cooking and infusing flavor.
  5. Add Butter: Dot the top of the potato mixture with small pieces of unsalted butter, which will melt during cooking to enhance richness.
  6. Season and Cook: Season with salt and pepper according to taste. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Finish and Serve: Once tender, check the seasoning and adjust if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley for color and an herby touch before serving hot.

Notes

  • Use baby potatoes for quicker cooking and skin-on texture, or Yukon Gold for a creamy interior.
  • Broth choice (beef or chicken) impacts flavor; beef broth yields a richer taste.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with olive oil or omit it entirely.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on slow cooker model; start checking for tenderness at the minimum time.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats or roasted chicken.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
