Here’s a simple and delicious way to make Slow Cooker Onion Soup Potatoes using russets:
🥔 Slow Cooker Onion Soup Russet Potatoes
🧾 Ingredients
- 2½–3 lbs russet potatoes, peeled (optional) and cut into chunks
- 1 packet (about 1 oz) dry onion soup mix
- ⅓ cup olive oil (or melted butter)
- ½ cup chicken broth
(Optional: black pepper, garlic powder, fresh parsley for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the potatoes
Cut russet potatoes into large chunks (about 1½–2 inches).
2️⃣ Add to slow cooker
Place potatoes in the slow cooker.
3️⃣ Season
Sprinkle the entire packet of onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes.
4️⃣ Add liquids
Drizzle olive oil (or melted butter) over the top.
Pour chicken broth around the potatoes.
5️⃣ Cook
- Low: 6–7 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
Potatoes are done when fork-tender.
6️⃣ Optional finish
For crispier edges, spread cooked potatoes on a baking sheet and broil 3–5 minutes.
💡 Tips
- Add baby carrots for a full side dish.
- Stir once halfway through if possible.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
If you’d like, I can also turn this into a dump-and-go 4-ingredient version or a creamy version with sour cream and cheese.
