INGREDIENT NOTES:
VEGAN DRY ONION SOUP MIX:
- You will add this as the basic ingredient for this side dish. This must be vegan, so you can add it to your slow cooker. You will get an onion and seasoning flavor from adding this ingredient. You may also mix herbs, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder for an alternative idea.
SMALL RED POTATOES:
- We will add small red potatoes to this recipe so they make a good shape. Also, these will cook well and become softer on the inside. But you will notice that these will get a little firm on the outer surface, too. Add baby potatoes for an alternative option as well.
VEGAN UNSALTED AND MELTED BUTTER:
- This is also the basic ingredient to add to your recipe. Here, you will add vegan butter to keep things dairy-free. Also, use the unsalted and melted version for this recipe. This butter will give your potatoes a richer flavor and covering. Add olive oil if you need another idea for this.
VEGETABLE BROTH:
- Vegetable broth is useful in avoiding burning of your potatoes in the slow cooker. Also, you will feel moisture in your side dish from adding it. It’s helpful in mixing all the flavors of your recipe, too. You may use water if this broth is not with you.
