Ingredients for this Slow Cooker Lipton Onion Potatoes Recipe
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup mix
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional for extra oniony goodness)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
Rinse and halve the baby potatoes. If you’re using larger potatoes, cut them into uniform chunks to ensure even cooking. No need to peel—the skins add flavor and texture.
Step 2: Season and Mix
In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, the Lipton Onion Soup mix, garlic powder, black pepper, and optional chopped onion. Make sure each piece is well coated for maximum flavor.
Step 3: Slow Cook
Transfer the seasoned potatoes into your slow cooker. Set it on LOW for 4-5 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours. Stir once halfway through to prevent sticking and to evenly distribute flavors.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Once tender and golden, sprinkle the potatoes with fresh parsley just before serving. Serve them warm straight from the slow cooker or transfer to a serving dish for a more formal presentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
