๐Ÿฅ” SLOW COOKER LIPTON ONION POTATOES


Tender, savory, and packed with flavor — the ultimate no-fuss side dish for any meal.

Whether you're planning a holiday feast, a weekend dinner, or just want a cozy, comforting side without turning on the oven, these slow-cooked Lipton onion potatoes deliver. Each bite is buttery, aromatic, and infused with the rich flavors of caramelized onion and herbs — and the best part? Your slow cooker does all the heavy lifting.


๐Ÿ›’ Ingredients (Serves 6)

  • 2 lbs small red or Yukon gold potatoes, halved or quartered (uniform size helps ensure even cooking)

  • 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix (or any dry onion soup mix)

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, adds a lovely warm color and hint of smokiness)

  • Fresh chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)


๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍๐Ÿณ Step-by-Step Instructions

๐Ÿ”ช 1. Prep the Potatoes

Start by washing your potatoes thoroughly. Halve or quarter them depending on size, aiming for even, bite-sized pieces. This ensures they cook at the same rate and soak up all the seasoning.

๐Ÿง‚ 2. Season Generously

In a large mixing bowl, toss together:

  • Potatoes

  • Lipton onion soup mix

  • Olive oil

  • Melted butter

  • Minced garlic

  • Black pepper

  • Paprika (if using)

Use a wooden spoon or your hands to coat every piece thoroughly. The buttery, herby blend should cling to each potato chunk like a flavor blanket.

๐Ÿฅ˜ 3. Load the Slow Cooker

Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick spray or a bit of olive oil.
Pour in the seasoned potatoes and spread them evenly into a single layer as much as possible — this helps prevent sticking and promotes even cooking.

โฒ๏ธ 4. Let the Magic Happen

Cover the slow cooker and cook:

  • On LOW for 4–5 hours, or

  • On HIGH for 2–3 hours,
    …until the potatoes are fork-tender and infused with all the buttery onion goodness.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Stir once or twice during cooking to prevent sticking and redistribute flavors.

๐ŸŒฟ 5. Finish & Serve

Once perfectly tender and golden, give the potatoes a final gentle stir. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of freshness and color.
