Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Baby potatoes (or small Yukon Gold potatoes)
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 packet Dried onion soup mix
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly. If using larger potatoes, cut them into quarters or bite-sized pieces.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion into rings or half-moons.
In the bottom of the crock pot, add the olive oil and swirl it around to lightly coat the surface.
Layer the potatoes and sliced onions in the crock pot, spreading them evenly.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe dish, then pour it over the potatoes and onions.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, dried onion soup mix, salt, and black pepper evenly over the potatoes and onions. Toss gently to ensure the seasoning is distributed well.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 4–5 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and can be pierced easily with a fork. Stir halfway through for even cooking.
Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding extra salt or pepper.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
