1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix

Instructions
1. Prepare the potatoes:
Wash and peel the potatoes if desired. Cut them into 1-inch cubes or slices for even cooking.
2. Mix the seasoning:
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes with the melted butter (or oil), Lipton Onion Soup Mix, and water or broth (if using). Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
3. Add to the slow cooker:
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray or butter. Add the seasoned potatoes.
4. Cook:
Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or high for 2.5–3 hours, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
5. Optional finishing touch:
If desired, sprinkle cheese over the potatoes during the last 15 minutes of cooking and let it melt.
6. Serve:
Stir gently before serving. Garnish with parsley or extra seasoning if desired.

Tips
Potato choice: Yukon Golds give a creamy texture, while Russets create softer, fluffier potatoes.
Crispier edges: For a roasted effect, briefly broil the cooked potatoes in the oven before serving.
Less butter: Substitute with olive oil for a lighter version.
Add-ins: Toss in chopped onions, garlic, or bell peppers for extra flavor.

Variations
Cheesy Version: Add shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan before serving.
Bacon and Onion Potatoes: Mix in cooked bacon bits for a smoky touch.
Ranch Twist: Substitute half the onion soup mix with dry ranch seasoning for a tangy flavor.
Loaded Potatoes: Top with sour cream, green onions, and cheese for a loaded baked potato style dish.

Correction
If your potatoes come out too soft or mushy, try cutting them into larger chunks next time or reduce the cooking time slightly. If they’re too dry, add a few tablespoons of broth or butter halfway through cooking.
