This is a must-try recipe if you love to make side dishes in your slow cooker. I saw this recipe in a few places online and had to try it. When I bought the Lipton onion soup mix for this recipe, I read the same recipe on the back of the box, but of course, that version is for the oven. This will be a great recipe for me with the summer weather coming soon.

Lipton Onion Potatoes Ingredients
- Potatoes: Russet potatoes are the go-to potato of choice for this super easy side dish.
- Lipton Onion Soup Mix: The flavors in this mix are dried onion flakes, soy sauce, and onion powder. You can also make homemade onion soup mix if you want a version with fewer preservatives.
- Olive Oil: You’ll drizzle this oil as a final touch just before slow cooking the potatoes.
- Seasonings: More black pepper and garlic powder add even more flavor to this great recipe.
How to Make Lipton Onion Soup Potatoes
- Add sliced potatoes to a greased crockpot, arranging them as desired.
- Sprinkle with seasonings and soup mix, then drizzle with oil.
- Cover and cook on HIGH until the potatoes are tender.
What to serve with these potatoes
- These are very similar to oven roasted potatoes which means they will go perfectly with slow cooker salmon, steak bites, or even grilled chicken in the summer.
- Enjoy these tender and golden brown potatoes by themselves with various toppings such as a drizzle of melted butter, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced green onion.
Recipe Info and Variations
Do the potatoes brown? The potatoes will be slightly crispy around the edges, but these are very tender potatoes overall. The slow cooker is not an oven and will not brown things.
Potato Swap: Red or gold potatoes can be used in this recipe, although russet potatoes taste the best.
Keeping them warm: You can keep them warm in the crockpot, but be sure to turn the setting to ‘keep warm’ or off completely.
Use butter: If you don’t have olive oil, you can use vegetable oil or melted butter as an alternative.

Please amend your written directions. You did not indicate to spray the crockpot first with cooking spray. After mine stuck I read your narrative and saw that step, but it is not included in the recipe.
I’m so sorry, I fixed the directions.
Problem is not fixed. I did the same thing. When I got to bottom of recipe, it said spray or add oil.
The recipe card says it in step one.
Can I replace the Lipton soup mix with anything else? Any powdered broth for instance? Thanks!
You probably could use a powdered broth, ranch or even a leek soup mix.
I used hidden valley dry ranch. It was amazing
The click bait said, Lipton onion soup MEAT LOAF. When clicked, however, it went to this potato recipe. It’s nice, but I want Crockpot Meat Loaf recipe. What happened? If I get a good answer, Ill make them both.
Awe, thank you for letting me know. They are both good! How can they not be. Here is the meatloaf recipe: https://www.themagicalslowcooker.com/onion-soup-mix-meat-loaf/
maybe could add smoked sausage rounds or ham pieces too
I need to double the recipe. Will another layer added on top, still cook well?
Did you try this? I want to double the recipe and am curious if anyone has tried it
Can you cut the skin off the potatoes or leaving the skin on would be better?
You can do either! I liked these with the skins on though.
Do you think you could add cut up chicken tenders to this? They would easily cook in 4 hours. I’m always looking for a one pot meal that is savory.
Hi Kelly. I don’t see why not! I love one pot meals myself.
I’ve been making the recipe on the Lipton Onion Soup box in the slow cooker for years. I put the soup mix and oil in a large plastic bag and add the potatoes, then shake them to coat evenly. It works much better than trying to coat the in the slow cooker. Just my 2 cents worth.
Thanks for the tips Nancy!
Nancy, that’s a great idea!
Can this bee on for 8 hours on low
I think it would be too long. 6 hours on low may work ok.
These look amazing and they are so simple to make. I’m making these soon.
Wishes for tasty dishes,
