Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Onions

  • 3 pounds of potatoes, peeled and sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced

Seasoning and Sauce

  • 1/4 cup of butter, melted
  • 1 packet of onion soup mix (about 1 ounce)
  • 1/2 cup of chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Peel and slice the potatoes into even pieces and thinly slice the large onion to ensure even cooking throughout the dish.
  2. Combine Vegetables in Slow Cooker: Place the sliced potatoes and onions evenly in the slow cooker crock to prepare them for slow cooking.
  3. Mix Sauce Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, onion soup mix, and chicken broth until fully combined, creating a flavorful sauce.
  4. Pour Sauce Over Potatoes: Slowly pour the butter and onion soup mixture over the potatoes and onions in the slow cooker. Use a spoon to gently stir and coat the vegetables evenly with the mix.
  5. Cook Slowly: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat setting for 6 to 7 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and flavors have melded together.
  6. Season to Taste: Once cooked, season the dish with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your preference to enhance the savory flavors.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the potatoes before serving to add a pop of color and fresh herbal aroma.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • Use Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes for best texture and taste.
  • If you prefer a creamier texture, stir in a little sour cream or cream cheese just before serving.
  • Make sure to slice potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted meats or grilled vegetables.
