Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes are the ultimate comfort food—creamy, cheesy, and irresistibly tender. This slow-cooked side dish is perfect for holidays, potlucks, or weeknight meals, with minimal prep and rich flavor that will have everyone coming back for seconds.
Ingredients
6 cups sliced Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Peel and thinly slice the potatoes if using fresh. If using frozen diced potatoes, skip this step.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
3. Grease the crockpot insert with cooking spray or a little butter.
4. Add half of the sliced potatoes to the bottom of the crockpot.
5. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the potatoes.
6. Repeat with remaining potatoes and cheese mixture.
7. Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are fork-tender.
8. Gently stir before serving. Top with extra cheese if desired, and let it melt.
9. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives.
Notes
Slow cook time: 5–6 hours on low or 3–4 on high. Ideal for potlucks and holidays. For extra creaminess, stir in a bit of cream cheese or use Monterey Jack cheese.
