Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 large potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Seasoning and Liquids:
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Preparation Components:
- Cooking spray or butter for greasing
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker by generously coating the interior with a non-stick agent to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Wash potatoes thoroughly, then slice into uniform thin rounds. Peeling is optional based on personal preference and potato variety.
- Melt butter and create a seasoning mixture by combining it with the Lipton Onion Soup mix, ensuring comprehensive and even coverage of the potato slices.
- If incorporating cheese, gently fold it into the buttered and seasoned potato mixture, distributing ingredients uniformly.
- Carefully arrange the seasoned potato slices in overlapping layers within the slow cooker, creating an even distribution for consistent cooking.
- Delicately pour chicken broth or water over the layered potatoes, providing necessary moisture for slow cooking.
- Secure the slow cooker lid and set the temperature to low, allowing potatoes to simmer and tenderize over 5-6 hours, or alternatively use high heat for 2-3 hours.
- Test potato tenderness by piercing with a fork; once soft throughout, sprinkle with additional salt and pepper to enhance flavor profile.
- Transfer the aromatic, herb-infused potatoes to a serving dish, presenting them as a delectable accompaniment to your main course.
Notes
- Slice potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from becoming mushy while others remain hard.
- Experiment with different potato varieties like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for varied textures and flavor profiles.
- Boost nutrition by adding diced bell peppers or chopped spinach to the potato mixture for extra vitamins and color.
- Make it dairy-free by omitting cheese or using nutritional yeast as a vegan-friendly alternative for cheesy flavor.
