Servings: 6-8 servings

2 pounds of baby potatoes, halved
1 packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1/4 cup of olive oil
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

1. Start by washing and halving your baby potatoes. If they're larger, you might want to quarter them.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved potatoes, Lipton Onion Soup Mix, olive oil, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.

3. Transfer the seasoned potatoes to your slow cooker. Cover and cook on the LOW setting for 4-5 hours, or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.

4. Once ready, give the potatoes a good stir to make sure all the flavors are well distributed.

5. If desired, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley just before serving for a pop of color and added freshness.

For a little variation, you can add some baby carrots or sliced bell peppers into the mix for extra color and flavor. If you prefer, you can use Yukon Gold or red potatoes instead of baby potatoes; just cut them into uniform pieces for even cooking. For a touch of creaminess, consider adding a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of grated cheese on top just before serving. And if you like a bit of heat, a pinch of red pepper flakes can give these potatoes a delightful kick.
