Ingredients
  

2 lbs baby potatoes, halved

1 large onion, thinly sliced

2 cups beef broth

1 cup French onion dip

2 cups shredded Gruyère cheese (or Swiss cheese)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Onions: In a skillet, melt the butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt, cooking them slowly until they become caramelized and golden brown, stirring occasionally (about 15-20 minutes).

    Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine halved baby potatoes, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.

      Layer Ingredients in the Crockpot: Add the coated potatoes to the bottom of the crockpot. Pour the caramelized onions over the potatoes. Then, add the beef broth and the French onion dip, stirring gently to combine.

        Cook the Potatoes: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the potatoes are tender.

          Add the Cheese: About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the Gruyère and mozzarella cheese evenly over the potatoes. Cover and allow the cheese to melt into a gooey, delicious layer.

            Garnish & Serve: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, give the potatoes a gentle stir. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
