Wash 2 pounds of baby red potatoes under cold running water, scrubbing away any dirt. Cut larger potatoes in half for even cooking.

Place the cleaned potatoes into the slow cooker, spreading them out for an even layer. Sprinkle 1 ounce of Lipton onion soup mix over the potatoes.

Add 4 whole garlic cloves on the potatoes, distributing them evenly. Scatter 4 tablespoons of butter throughout the potatoes.

Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for about 6 to 7 hours.

Once cooking is complete, gently remove the lid and stir the potatoes, coating them with the savory onion sauce.

For a fresh touch, sprinkle optional fresh parsley over the potatoes before serving.
