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.

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.

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.
