how to make Slow Cooker Lipton Onion Potatoes

This is a slow cooker potato side with Lipton onion soup mix. It cooks until the potatoes are soft and full of flavor.

Ingredients :

  • 2 pounds small new potatoes or baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix (about 1.25 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup water or low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions :

  1. Wash and dry the potatoes. Cut large potatoes to match the size of small ones.
  2. Put the potatoes in the slow cooker bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the Lipton onion soup mix, melted butter, water (or broth), olive oil, and black pepper.
  4. Pour the mix over the potatoes. Stir to coat the potatoes evenly.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours, or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, until potatoes are fork-tender.

  7. Sprinkle chopped parsley or chives before serving, if you like.

how to serve Slow Cooker Lipton Onion Potatoes

Serve these potatoes hot as a side dish. They go well with roast chicken, grilled meat, fish, or a simple salad. Add a spoon of sour cream or a sprinkle of bacon bits for extra flavor. You can also put them on a plate with green vegetables for a full meal.

how to store Slow Cooker Lipton Onion Potatoes

Cool the potatoes to room temperature, then put them in an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a 350°F (175°C) oven until warm. Freezing is not ideal—potatoes can change texture—but you can freeze for up to 1 month if needed. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.

tips to make Slow Cooker Lipton Onion Potatoes

  • Use similar size potatoes so they cook evenly.
  • Do not add too much liquid; the soup mix and butter give enough sauce.
  • If you want crisper potatoes, transfer to a baking sheet and broil for 3–5 minutes after slow cooking.
  • Taste before adding salt; the soup mix already has salt.
  • Use chicken broth for more flavor than plain water.

variation (if any)

  • Add sliced carrots and onions with the potatoes for extra veggies.
  • Stir in cooked bacon pieces or crumbled sausage before serving.
  • Use a different dry soup mix like ranch or mushroom for a new flavor.
  • Add a splash of cream near the end for richer potatoes.

FAQs

Q: Can I use russet potatoes instead of baby potatoes?
A: Yes. Cut russets into even pieces so they cook the same as smaller potatoes.

Q: How long do I cook on low or high?
A: Cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or on HIGH for 2–3 hours. Test with a fork for doneness.

Q: Is the Lipton onion soup mix very salty?
A: It can be. Taste before adding extra salt. Use low-sodium broth to lower overall salt.

Q: Can I make this in the oven instead of a slow cooker?
A: Yes. Cover and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35–45 minutes, stirring once, until potatoes are tender.

Q: Can I double the recipe for a crowd?
A: Yes. Use a larger slow cooker and keep the same cook time. Stir once if possible.
