Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 lbs. russet potatoes, thinly sliced (about 8 small potatoes)
Seasonings
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1 oz. packet Lipton Onion Soup mix
Others
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- Non-stick spray (for slow cooker)
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the potatoes from sticking during cooking.
- Add Potatoes: Arrange the thinly sliced russet potatoes inside the slow cooker. For a visually appealing presentation, you can place the slices in a spiral design, though this isn’t required.
- Season the Potatoes: Evenly sprinkle the garlic powder, black pepper, and the entire packet of Lipton Onion Soup mix over the potatoes. This will infuse the potatoes with savory, oniony flavor.
- Drizzle Olive Oil: Pour 1/3 cup of olive oil evenly over the seasoned potatoes to help keep them moist and add richness.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on HIGH for 4 hours. Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain the temperature and allow the potatoes to cook evenly and become tender.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, confirm the Lipton Onion Soup mix does not contain milk products.
- If you prefer thicker potato slices, you may need to increase cooking time slightly.
- You can substitute olive oil with melted butter for a richer flavor if desired.
- Ensure the slow cooker lid remains closed during cooking to avoid heat loss and uneven cooking.
- Russet potatoes are recommended for their starchy texture that cooks well in slow cookers, but Yukon Golds can be used as a substitute.
