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 (5.3 tablespoons) butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
Seasoning and Preparation:
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or butter for greasing
Instructions
- Prepare the culinary vessel by applying a light coating of non-stick spray or butter to prevent adhering of ingredients.
- Cleanse and optionally peel potatoes, then slice into uniform thin rounds to guarantee consistent heat penetration.
- Transfer potato slices into a spacious mixing container, drizzle with melted butter, ensuring comprehensive coverage. Generously sprinkle Lipton Onion Soup mix across the potatoes, gently folding to distribute seasoning evenly.
- If utilizing shredded cheddar, incorporate into the potato mixture, allowing the cheese to intermingle with the seasonings.
- Methodically arrange seasoned potato slices within the slow cooker, creating neat overlapping layers. Gently cascade chicken broth or water across the surface to facilitate steaming and uniform cooking.
- Secure the lid and initiate cooking process: low temperature setting for 5-6 hours or high temperature setting for 2-3 hours. Monitor closely as cooking duration may fluctuate depending on appliance and potato thickness.
- Test potato tenderness with a fork. Adjust final seasoning with salt and pepper according to personal preference.
- Transfer to serving dish and present immediately while maintaining optimal warmth and flavor profile.
Notes
- Slice potatoes uniformly to guarantee consistent cooking and prevent uneven texture.
- Use waxy potato varieties like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for creamier, firmer results that hold shape better during slow cooking.
- Experiment with different cheese options like Gruyère or pepper jack to add unexpected flavor dimensions and create exciting variations.
- Skip the cheese for a dairy-free version, and enhance flavor by adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary during the last hour of cooking for aromatic complexity.
