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!
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
- 1 (32 ounce) bag frozen diced hash brown potatoes
- 1 small white onion
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups cheddar cheese
- green onions
Instructions
- 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!
How Long Is It Good For?
These crockpot cheesy potatoes will be good for up to 5 days in the fridge. Make sure to store them in an airtight container – these glass airtight containers are my favorite for all leftovers.
I would suggest reheating these in the microwave when you are ready to serve them.
Can You Freeze It?
I don’t recommend freezing these potatoes. I think the texture would change once they are frozen, defrosted, and then reheated again.
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!
