These Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes are a creamy, comforting side dish perfect for family dinners or holiday meals. Made with frozen diced potatoes, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and a hint of garlic salt, this slow cooker recipe is easy to prepare and results in tender, cheesy potatoes with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Potato Mixture

  • 32 ounces frozen diced potatoes
  • 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt with parsley flakes
  • ½ cup finely diced onion

Cheese

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. Prepare Slow Cooker: Grease the bottom of the slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In the slow cooker, add frozen diced potatoes, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic salt, and finely diced onion. Reserve 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix the ingredients thoroughly so the potatoes are evenly coated.
  3. Cook Potatoes: Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours or LOW for 5 to 6 hours. Stir halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking. Cook until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
  4. Add Cheese Topping: Once the potatoes are tender, turn off the slow cooker and remove the lid. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the potatoes.
  5. Melt Cheese: Cover the slow cooker again and let it sit for 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and become gooey without overcooking the potatoes.
  6. Serve: After the cheese has melted, give everything a gentle stir if desired, then serve hot as a delicious, cheesy side dish.

  • For a healthier option, use reduced-fat sour cream and cheese.
  • This recipe can be adapted to be vegetarian by using cream of mushroom soup or a dairy-free alternative.
  • Mixing halfway through cooking prevents potatoes from sticking to the slow cooker and promotes even cooking.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the microwave or oven.
