Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 large potatoes, thinly sliced (peeling optional)
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
Seasoning Ingredients:
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or butter, for greasing
Instructions
- Prepare the cooking vessel by thoroughly coating the interior with a non-stick agent to ensure effortless removal of the potatoes after cooking.
- Carefully slice the potatoes into uniform thin rounds, maintaining consistent thickness to guarantee even cooking throughout the dish.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, generously coat the potato slices with melted butter, ensuring complete coverage of each slice.
- Sprinkle the Lipton Onion Soup mix meticulously over the buttered potatoes, gently tossing to distribute the seasoning evenly and create a rich, aromatic coating.
- If incorporating cheddar cheese, fold it into the potato mixture, allowing the cheese to intermingle with the onion soup seasoning.
- Transfer the seasoned potato mixture into the prepared slow cooker, arranging the slices in a level, overlapping pattern to maximize flavor absorption.
- Gently pour chicken broth or water across the potato layers, providing essential moisture for the cooking process.
- Secure the slow cooker lid and set the temperature to low, allowing the potatoes to simmer and tenderize over 5-6 hours, or alternatively use high heat for 2-3 hours.
- Once cooking is complete, carefully test the potatoes’ tenderness with a fork, ensuring they are soft and fully cooked.
- Finish the dish by adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper to personal preference, then serve immediately while warm and flavorful.
Notes
- Ensure even potato slicing to guarantee uniform cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Experiment with different potato varieties like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for unique flavor profiles and varying levels of creaminess.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium chicken broth or water if watching salt intake, maintaining the rich onion soup mix flavor.
- Add extra depth by incorporating fresh herbs like chopped rosemary or thyme during the seasoning stage for an elevated taste experience.
