Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes

Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes

A comforting and easy-to-make side dish, perfect for potlucks or family dinners, featuring tender potatoes in a creamy, cheesy sauce cooked in a crockpot.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 7–8 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup (or any creamed soup of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup butter (4 tablespoons), melted
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes into small, even-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch). This helps them cook evenly and get tender in the crockpot.
  2. Mix the Sauce: In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, melted butter, sour cream, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
  3. Combine: Add the diced potatoes to the sauce mixture and stir until all the potatoes are fully coated.
  4. Layer & Cook: Lightly grease your crockpot insert. Pour the potato mixture into the crockpot and spread it into an even layer. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3.5 to 4 hours or on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Add Cheese: About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover again and let the cheese melt. You can stir it in for ultra-cheesy potatoes or leave it as a melted topping.
  6. Finish & Serve: Once the cheese is melted and gooey, give everything a gentle stir if you like it mixed, or serve as-is. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Stir once halfway through cooking if your crockpot tends to heat unevenly.
  • You can substitute with cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup for a different flavor twist.
