Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Russet potatoes, thinly sliced (about 2 lbs or 8 small potatoes)
Garlic powder
Black pepper
Lipton Onion Soup mix (1 oz packet)
Olive oil

Directions

I start by washing and thinly slicing the potatoes—no need to peel unless I want to.
I place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and sprinkle on the garlic powder and pepper.
I add the Lipton Onion Soup mix and pour in the olive oil.
I toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.
I transfer the mixture into a greased slow cooker and spread it out evenly.
I cover and cook on low for about 5–6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and golden on the edges.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves about 6 people. Prep time takes around 10 minutes, and the cook time is 5 to 6 hours on low in the slow cooker.

Variations

Sometimes I add sliced onions or bell peppers to cook with the potatoes for more flavor and color. For a cheesy twist, I sprinkle shredded cheddar or parmesan on top during the last 30 minutes of cooking. I’ve also tried it with baby red or Yukon gold potatoes for a slightly creamier texture.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, I warm them in the microwave or in a skillet on the stove with a little extra oil or butter to revive that crispy texture.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of potato?

Yes, I’ve used Yukon golds and baby reds, and they work great. They hold their shape well and have a buttery texture.

Do I need to peel the potatoes?

Nope! I usually leave the skins on for texture and nutrients, but peeling is fine if I prefer a smoother finish.

Can I cook these on high instead of low?

I can, but I keep an eye on them. On high, they usually take about 3 hours. I stir halfway through to prevent sticking or burning.

Can I make this recipe in the oven?

Absolutely. I bake them in a covered dish at 375°F for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, until tender and browned.

What main dishes go well with these potatoes?

These go perfectly with roast chicken, grilled steaks, or even burgers. It’s a great all-around side dish for any protein.

Conclusion

These Slow Cooker Lipton Onion Potatoes are everything I want in a side dish—flavorful, comforting, and practically effortless. Whether I’m cooking for the family or prepping for a party, this recipe never fails to satisfy. It’s a must-have in my slow cooker rotation.
