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.

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.

Can I bake the potatoes first to save time?
Yes, that will work fine.
Can I double !
Yes, you’ll most likely need to cook for an additional hour.
Can this be made in a casserole crockpot casserole?
I don’t see why not! The timing may be different though, you’ll have to test it out.
Could you use a different type of potato, such as a red potato?
Yes! That will work fine.
Hi, could vegetable oil,avocado oil or melted butter be used?
Yes, that will work fine.
How does the oil effect the recipe? What if it was switched out for butter?
You can use butter instead of oil with no problems.
Could you double this or does it need just the one layer so it gets crispy touching the bottom?
You could double it, you may need to add a little time though.
Would red potatoes work just as well? Thanks!
yes!
Try this with drained kraut. It is good, but probably not for everyone.
