Sour Cream

How to make crockpot cheesy potatoes:

You are not going to be believe how easy it is to make this easy crock pot potato side dish recipe.

First spray the inside of a 6 quart crock pot with nonstick spray. This will make the clean up very easy and will make serving these cheesy potatoes even easier.

Next take your frozen hash browns and break them up in the bag. This is easier to do while they’re in the bag and helps them cook more thoroughly once they’re added to the slow cooker.

Then in a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, milk and sour cream.

Next stir in the hash browns, onions and 1 cup of the cheese. Use a large spoon instead of a whisk to stir these ingredients in so that the hash browns don’t turn to mush when mixing them in.

After all the ingredients are combined, pour this mixture into the crock pot. Then top with the remaining cheese. This is what gives the casserole that nice cheesy top, so don’t skip this step! If you’re worried about it being too cheesy then just use 1/2 cup of cheese to top the casserole.

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 4-5 hours or for 2-3 hours on high until the potatoes are tender.

After the cooking time, serve with a large spoon and enjoy!

Cheesy potato recipe tips:

I usually use frozen potatoes for this recipe because it’s convenient and frozen hash brown potatoes are pretty inexpensive. However, you can use fresh potatoes for this recipe if you prefer.

Also, you can make this a complete meal but staring in cooked shredded chicken or browned ground beef or sausage. I have done this a few time and they alway turn out great!

Plus staring in green chilis or diced peppers would be delicious in this recipe to give this cheesy potato casserole a spicy kick!

I usually use shredded hash browns for this recipe, but you can also use diced hash browns or the hash browns with green peppers and onions mixed in.

Refrigerate leftovers in an air tight container for 5-7 days. Top with a small amount of melted butter when reheating to add moisture back to the casserole when reheating.
