Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 large potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup (75 milliliters) butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) chicken broth or water
Seasoning and Preparation:
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or butter for greasing
Instructions
- Prepare the cooking vessel by thoroughly coating the interior with a non-stick spray or butter to prevent adhering.
- Cleanse potatoes and remove skin if preferred, then craft uniform thin slices to guarantee consistent heat distribution.
- Transfer potato slices into a spacious mixing vessel, drizzle with melted butter, ensuring comprehensive coverage, then generously dust with Lipton Onion Soup mix, stirring meticulously to achieve complete seasoning integration.
- Optional enhancement includes folding shredded cheddar cheese throughout the potato mixture for additional flavor complexity.
- Gently transfer seasoned potato layers into the slow cooker, creating an even arrangement, then cascade chicken broth or water across the surface to facilitate steaming and uniform cooking.
- Secure lid and initiate cooking process: low temperature setting requires 5-6 hours, while high temperature setting demands 2-3 hours, recognizing potential variations based on appliance performance and potato slice thickness.
- Verify potato tenderness through gentle piercing, then calibrate seasoning with salt and pepper according to personal preference.
- Present immediately as a warm, aromatic accompanying dish, showcasing the rich, savory profile developed during slow cooking.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for a creamy, less starchy texture that holds shape better during slow cooking.
- Opt for low-sodium Lipton Onion Soup mix to control salt levels and customize the dish’s seasoning intensity.
- Experiment with cheese variations like smoked Gouda or sharp white cheddar for unique flavor profiles that complement the onion soup base.
- Add diced bacon or chopped fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary during the last hour of cooking to introduce extra depth and aromatic complexity.
