Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly under cool running water, scrubbing away any dirt. If desired, peel them for a creamier texture. Cut any larger potatoes in half.

Place the prepared potatoes evenly in the slow cooker in a single layer.

Generously sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix over the tops of the potatoes.

Pour beef or chicken broth evenly over the potatoes, covering them just enough to keep them moist.

Dot small pieces of butter over the potatoes.

Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Give the potatoes a gentle stir and garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
