Instructions

Prep Your Slow Cooker: Generously grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or butter to prevent the potatoes from sticking during cooking.
Prepare Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes if you prefer, then slice them thinly and evenly. Uniform slices ensure the potatoes cook consistently and become tender throughout.
Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with melted butter until evenly coated. Add the Lipton Onion Soup mix and mix thoroughly to distribute the seasoning. For a richer flavor, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese if using.
Layer & Add Liquid: Place the seasoned potato mixture into the slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth or water evenly over the top; this liquid steams the potatoes and infuses them with moisture and flavor as they cook.
Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 5 to 6 hours or on High for 2 to 3 hours. The potatoes are done when they are fork-tender and infused with the onion soup flavor.
Finish & Serve: Once cooked, taste the potatoes and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot as a delicious, savory side dish.

Notes

For creamier potatoes, add cheese as recommended, or serve with a dollop of sour cream.
Using chicken broth instead of water adds more flavor, but water works fine if preferred or for a lighter option.
Make sure potato slices are uniform in thickness for even cooking.
This recipe can be made vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth for chicken broth.
If you wish to prepare ahead, assemble the potatoes in the slow cooker insert, cover, and refrigerate overnight before cooking.
