I mean, there is just nothing better than a big plate of crockpot cheesy potatoes that you hardly spent any time preparing, am I right? They go perfectly with this Air Fryer Chicken Breast (no air fryer? Try my Baked Chicken Breasts instead!), Roasted Pork Tenderloin or Oven Fried Chicken. The weather is slowly getting cooler here, and I’m digging all the comfort food. These potatoes definitely hit the spot! There are plenty of cheesy potato recipes out there that use canned soups or frozen hashbrown potatoes, but I wanted to make my own version, from scratch, with raw potatoes, that is just as delicious!
How to make Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes:
Wasn’t that easy? No frozen shortcuts — just homemade creamy, cheesy crockpot potatoes with minimal effort!
Variations on these Cheesy Potatoes:
If you want to skip the real onions (and the browning), simply add ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder and the other seasonings to the sauce mixture when you whisk it together and continue on with the recipe. If you’re really in a pinch, you can substitute an equal amount of frozen cubed potatoes and you just don’t have to tell me you did. (p.s. it will still be delicious). You can add other vegetables into the pot with these slow cooker cheesy potatoes, as long as they will cook in about the same amount of time. Frozen peas or carrots, green beans or mushrooms would work great. If you’re adding broccoli, add it at the end of the cook time so that it steams briefly and doesn’t become overcooked. You can chop up some ham, smoked sausage or stir in some of this Crockpot Shredded Chicken and stir it in with the potatoes to cook. These cheesy crockpot potatoes become a full meal deal with no extra prep time!
Tips for knowing your slow cooker:
I like to use my 2.5 quart casserole crockpot for this cheesy potatoes recipe — I love how it cooks quickly and fits perfectly! It’s my favorite slow cooker, especially for things like side dishes and desserts. I also have a 4 quart crockpot and a 6 quart Hamilton Beach slow cooker — I know that they all cook differently. My Crockpot brand slow cookers tend to cook more quickly, and my other slow cooker is on the cooler side so things take longer. It’s important to know your crockpot and if it tends to be hot or cool. A full crockpot will cook more slowly as it takes time for the heat to penetrate. On the flip side, if you’re using a jumbo slow cooker and there is only a thin layer of potatoes, it will cook quickly and you may want to knock some time off the cook time.
