Slow Cooker Onion Butter Potatoes (Print Version)
Tender potatoes simmered in melted butter and onion seasoning, cooked slowly for rich, comforting flavor.
# Ingredients:
Potatoes
01 -
3 pounds small red potatoes, washed and cut into bite-size chunks
Seasoning
02 -
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
03 -
2 packets (1 ounce each) dry onion soup seasoning mix
# Instructions:
01 -
Rinse potatoes thoroughly under cool running water and scrub to remove dirt. Dry with a clean towel and cut into evenly sized chunks or quarters to ensure uniform cooking.

Lightly coat the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray or butter for easier cleanup. Add the cut potatoes and spread evenly.
03 -
Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan until liquefied. Stir in dry onion soup seasoning until well combined and slightly thickened.
04 -
Drizzle the seasoned butter mixture evenly over the potatoes in the slow cooker. Toss gently with a spoon or hands until all pieces are glossy and coated with seasoning.
05 -
Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or HIGH for 2 to 3 hours until potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Stir gently halfway through cooking to redistribute seasoning.
06 -
Turn off slow cooker once potatoes are tender. Stir to lift flavorful bits from the bottom. Transfer to a serving dish, spoon butter sauce over top, and serve warm.
# Notes:
