Tender Potatoes with Onion Soup Mix in Slow Cooker (Print version)

Tender slow cooker potatoes seasoned with dry onion soup mix, olive oil, garlic, and pepper for an easy savory side.

# Ingredients:

For the potatoes

01 - 2 1/2 lb (1.1 kg) russet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced 1/4 inch thick
02 - 1 tablespoon nonstick spray or olive oil, for the slow cooker

For seasoning and finish

03 - 1 packet (1 oz or 28 g) dry onion soup mix
04 - 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
05 - 2 tablespoons water
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
08 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for serving

# Instructions:

01 - Coat a 4-quart or larger slow cooker insert with nonstick spray or a thin layer of olive oil.
02 - Scrub the potatoes and slice them into even 1/4-inch rounds. Pat them dry if they are very wet.
03 - Place the potatoes in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the onion soup mix, garlic powder, and black pepper over the top.
04 - Drizzle with olive oil and water. Toss gently until the slices are evenly coated with seasoning.
05 - Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 6-7 hours, until the center potatoes are fork-tender. Avoid lifting the lid early.
06 - Turn off the slow cooker and let the potatoes rest uncovered for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.

# Good to know:

01 - Best cooked in a 4-quart or 5-quart slow cooker.
02 - Cooking time may vary based on potato thickness and slow cooker model.
03 - Taste before adding salt because dry onion soup mix is already seasoned.
