Slow Cooker Cheesy Potatoes are such an easy side dish! Mix 6 ingredients together in your crock-pot and 3 hours later you’ve got creamy, cheesy, tender potatoes ready to eat along side dinner. (I first shared this recipe on Lil Luna where I was a contributor.)
Potatoes and cheese are a match made in heaven! No one can pass up a side of potatoes that are robed in a creamy cheesy sauce! Serve it along side Mini Meatloaf, Balsamic Glazed Slow Cooker Pork Loin, or Cornflake Chicken!
Slow Cooker Cheesy Potatoes
These are such an easy side dish to make! As side should be easy so that you can focus on the main dish anyway.
How to make Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes?
- Grease bottom of slow cooker with cooking spray. (Or line with a slow cooker liner for easy clean up)
- Dump the frozen potatoes, soup, sour cream, onion, garlic salt, and half the cheese together in the bottom of a slow cooker and mix together until evenly combined.
- Cover with lid and cook on HIGH 3-4 hours or LOW 5-6 hours. All slow cookers are not alike. Some cook hotter than others so check to see if the potatoes are done at the shorter end of the time frame.
- When the potatoes are tender, sprinkle on the remaining cheese and cover with the lid for 5-10 minutes until it’s melted. Sprinkle with fresh cracked black pepper and then serve.
Can I double the Cheesy Potato recipe?
Yes! If you’re slow cooker is at least 6 quarts you can definitely fit it all in. I recommend stirring the potatoes halfway through. They might need to cook for an extra hour.
Can I use fresh potatoes?
Definitely! Just be sure to dice them small. They may need an extra hour to cook.
What kind of frozen potatoes should I use?
I use Ore-Ida Diced Hash Brown Potatoes. You’ll likely find diced frozen potatoes next to the frozen french fries and labeled as frozen “hash browns.”
What kind of cheese should I use?
You can really use what ever flavor cheese you prefer. I used sharp cheddar cheese. Feel free to use mild, extra sharp, or even mixing in a different cheese or combination.
If you want to add a kick, mix in some pepper jack cheese.
