Ingredients

Scale
  • Potatoes & Onions:
  • 3 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes (8–10 medium), peeled and sliced ¼-inch thick
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced into half-moons
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing onions)
  • Sauce:
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (1 oz) packet onion soup mix (Lipton or homemade)
  • ½ cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Optional Topping:
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • 1. Heat olive oil in skillet over medium. Add sliced onions; cook 8-10 minutes until golden and caramelized. Set aside.
  • 2. Grease 6-quart slow cooker insert with butter or cooking spray. Layer half the sliced potatoes, then half the caramelized onions.
  • 3. In bowl, whisk melted butter, onion soup mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour half the sauce over first layer.
  • 4. Repeat with remaining potatoes, onions, and sauce. Cover and cook on LOW 6-7 hours until potatoes are fork-tender.
  • 5. If using cheese, sprinkle on top during last 20 minutes. Garnish with parsley before serving.
  • 6. Stir gently before serving. Potatoes thicken beautifully as they sit.

Notes

  • Caramelizing onions first adds authentic Amish depth of flavor; don’t skip this step.
  • Slice potatoes uniformly ¼-inch thick for even cooking.
  • Yukon Gold variety holds shape better than Russets in slow cooker.
  • Low-sodium broth prevents over-saltiness with onion soup mix.
  • Make-ahead: Assemble morning of, refrigerate overnight, add 30 minutes cooking time.
  • Freezes perfectly; portion into family-sized containers for quick sides.
