Slow Cooker Lipton Onion Soup Mix Potatoes

Adapted from an oven recipe, this slow cooker version works very well and frees up your oven for other goodies you've got cooking. Also great in hot weather, no need to have the oven on. (Will have to keep this one in mind next summer!)

Ingredients:

2 lbs russet potatoes, sliced thinly about 1/4"

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp black pepper

4 tbsps Lipton dry onion soup mix

1/3 cup olive oil

1 onion sliced (optional, see below)

Spray a large slow cooker crock with cooking oil. I have made these potatoes 2 ways so I'll tell you what I did. For this first go round I layered the potatoes in the pot, sprinkled the garlic, pepper and soup mix all over then drizzled the olive oil.

Set on high these potatoes cooked for 4 hours. Do not open the lid to have a peek!

They were delicious and the bottom layer was quite crispy.

I wouldn't call them burned would you?

But for this alternative place slices of onion on the bottom of the oiled crock and then layer the potatoes and continue as above. Only this time they were cooked for just 3 hours with no crispy bits only tender, flavoured slices. Both ways are equally good, it's just a matter of preference.

Serves 8-10
