Cheesy Potatoes Recipe
Description
In this slow cooker Cheesy Potatoes recipe, frozen diced potatoes form the base of the dish, providing a convenient and consistent texture. The potatoes are mixed with cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic salt with parsley flakes, and finely diced onion to build a flavorful and creamy sauce. The first portion of cheddar cheese is stirred in during cooking, enhancing the cheesy taste throughout.
The ingredients cook covered on high or low heat until the potatoes become tender, usually between 3 to 6 hours depending on setting. After cooking, the remaining cheddar cheese is sprinkled on top and the lid is replaced to allow the cheese to melt, creating a gooey melted cheese topping that complements the soft potatoes beneath.
This dish makes a comforting side or a main dish and can be served directly from the slow cooker. It can also be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to two days before cooking. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for four to five days and can be reheated in the microwave or oven.
Ingredients
- 32 ounces potato frozen, diced
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup canned
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt with parsley flakes

Instructions

- Cover and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 5-6 (mix halfway) until potatoes are tender.
- Turn off and remove the lid. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese and cover for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Notes
- Prepare the dish ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator for 1-2 days before slow cooking.
