Ingredients
Scale
3 lbs Russet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 packet (1 oz) Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
Place the sliced potatoes in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Sprinkle the entire packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix evenly over the potatoes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth and water. Pour this liquid mixture over the potatoes and soup mix.
Distribute the pieces of butter over the top of the potatoes.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Stir gently before serving to distribute the melted butter and broth mixture.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can substitute the beef broth with chicken broth or use a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup mixed with water instead of broth.
If you are cooking this as a main dish, place a 3-pound beef chuck roast on top of the potatoes before adding the liquid. Adjust cooking time as needed for the roast.
This recipe works well for make ahead slow cooker sides, as leftovers reheat nicely.
