Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes

Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes are the perfect easy side dish for weeknight dinners or even a holiday party! Diced potatoes in a creamy, cheesy sauce – all cooked in the slow cooker!

If you love cheesy potatoes, try Hashbrown Casserole!

Is there anything better than potatoes with melted cheese? Fried, mashed, roasted… they’re all amazing on their own but even better with melted cheese!

These Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes are diced potatoes that are cooked in a creamy, cheesy sauce. It’s almost like a hashbrown casserole. And it’s all done in the slow cooker so it’s mostly hands off and really easy!

It’s one of our favorite side dishes because it’s so delicious but takes minimal effort.

Ingredients

• Frozen diced hash brown potatoes – make sure it’s just diced potatoes and not the kind with peppers and onions.
• White onion – these soften up really nicely in the crockpot so don’t worry about picky eaters being able to spot them.
• Sour cream – this makes the sauce super creamy and delicious.
• Cream of chicken soup – you can use the fat free version if you want.
• Butter
• Garlic powder
• Salt and pepper
• Cheddar cheese – I like to use a sharp chedddar in these potatoes but use whatever cheddar you like.
• Green onions – these are optional but they add a really nice brightness to the finished dish.

How To Make Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes

• To the slow cooker, add the hash brown potatoes, diced onion, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Stir to combine.
• Set slow cooker to high for 4 hours. After the 4 hours, sprinkle remaining cheese on top and let cook for another 15 minutes on high.
• Taste and season with more salt if needed.
• Sprinkle with green onions and serve!

Variations

• Use frozen shredded hashbrowns! They probably won’t take as long to cook so check on them after 2 hours and then again after 3.
• Want some spice? Use pepperjack cheese instead of cheddar!
• Make it a main dish by stirring in some diced ham in the last hour!
