Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 potatoes
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
Seasoning and Preparation:
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or butter, for greasing
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker by generously coating the interior with cooking spray or butter to prevent potatoes from adhering to the surface.
- Clean potatoes thoroughly, then slice into uniform thin pieces to ensure even cooking throughout the dish.
- Combine potato slices with melted butter in a mixing bowl, ensuring each slice is evenly coated. Sprinkle Lipton Onion Soup mix over the potatoes, mixing carefully to distribute seasonings completely.
- Fold shredded cheddar cheese into the seasoned potato mixture, creating a rich and flavorful base for the side dish.
- Transfer potato mixture into the prepared slow cooker, arranging slices in layers to promote consistent heat distribution.
- Gently pour chicken broth or water across the potato layers, providing necessary moisture for steaming and enhancing overall flavor profile.
- Cover slow cooker and set to low temperature, allowing potatoes to cook for 5-6 hours. Alternatively, use high temperature setting for 2-3 hours, monitoring tenderness periodically.
- When potatoes reach fork-tender consistency, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
- Serve immediately while hot, allowing the cheese and buttery seasonings to showcase their full flavor potential.
Notes
- Slice potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Use room temperature melted butter for better coating and absorption of seasonings on potato slices.
- Add just enough broth to prevent drying out without making potatoes soggy – aim for a moist but not swimming result.
- Swap regular butter with dairy-free alternatives and use gluten-free onion soup mix for celiac or lactose-intolerant guests.
