Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup mix
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or butter (for greasing)
Instructions
- Grease the Slow Cooker: Thoroughly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes if desired, then thinly slice them for even cooking.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes with melted butter. Sprinkle the Lipton Onion Soup mix over the potatoes and mix well to distribute flavors evenly.
- Optional Cheese: If using, add shredded cheddar cheese to the potato mixture and mix gently.
- Layer and Add Liquid: Carefully layer the seasoned potatoes into the slow cooker. Pour chicken broth or water over the top to help steam the potatoes.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, depending on your slow cooker and potato thickness.
- Finish and Serve: Once the potatoes are tender, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For a creamier finish, use heavy cream instead of chicken broth or water.
- Add some crispy bacon bits or green onions as toppings for extra flavor.
