- Sour cream
- Onion flakes
- Butter
- Salt
- Pepper
- Frozen cubed hash brown potatoes

How do I make Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes?
First grab a bowl and mix together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, onion and butter.
Next add your thawed hash brown potatoes and 1 1/2 c. of your sharp cheddar cheese. Stir until this is combined.
Pour this into a greased 4 quart slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until potatoes are tender.
Sprinkle remaining cheese over potatoes, cover and let cook an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Tips and Tricks!
Can I make these in the Oven? Of course you can! Instead of putting these into a slow cooker just put them into a greased 9” x 13” casserole dish and spread out evenly. Cover with tinfoil. Place in a preheated oven at 350 degrees. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until nice and bubbly and heated through. Remove foil and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes or until cooked through and cheesy is just beginning to brown.
Can I use shredded potatoes? Yes! Just beware that these will take a little less time to cook in your crock pot so keep an eye on them before they turn mushy.
Can I use fresh, diced potatoes? Yes, you can, but make sure you place them on a lint-free towel first to wring out any excess liquid. Also, add 1-2 hours of cooking time because frozen potatoes have actually been cooked a little bit.
How do I store leftovers? Let cool then place in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should lest for up to 5 days when stored properly.
How do I reheat leftovers? Place the amount of potatoes on a plate that you would like. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between until they are heated through. You can also place leftovers in a baking dish and reheat in oven at 300 degrees.
Can I double this recipe? You can! Make sure you have at least a 6 quart crock pot to do this. It will be VERY full. Add a hour of time onto the cooking time.
Flavorful additions: Mix in your favorite flavors like crumbles bacon, sauteed onions, green onions, diced jalapenos, top with cornflakes or whatever you can think of!

Krystal says
Making these for a surprise party tonight. Hope they turn out great! I am, however, using fresh cut potatoes versus the frozen!
Julie Evink says
Let me know how they turn out Krystal!
Beachgirl says
These were a hit at dinner tonight! Everyone kept commenting on how yummy there are, thanks for the recipe 🙂
Julie Evink says
So glad to here it!
Linda says
Made these several times. Yummy. Last time I used O’Brien potatoes and added about a cup or so of some small cubed ham. I bought some 1/4″ thick ham slices at the local deli counter and diced them up. Wow!!! I think the next time I will try some cubed or perhaps even some canned chicken (not raw). Of course everything goes better with cheese!!! This recipe just lends itself to so many different additions. Thanks.
Julie Evink says
Those are wonderful suggestions Linda!!
Faith says
Can I add chicken to make a meal of it?
Julie Evink says
I haven’t ever tried it like that but I would think you could, just watch the cooking time and make sure there is enough liquid!
Chelsea R says
Why cant I see the Recipe?
Starla J says

Cathy@LemonTreeDwelling says
These DO look comforting! I could use a GIANT bowl right now….seriously yummy, Julie!
Julie Evink says
Thanks Cathy!
Dan says
My father is allergic to chicken. What would you substitute for the cream of chicken soup???
Julie Evink says
Cream of Mushroom would probably work!
Dan says
Do you think cream of cheddar soup would make it too cheesy??
Julie Evink says
It was really cheesy to begin with so I would worry about that. You could leave some of the shredded cheese out unless you thought it needed it at the end!
Sherri says
My hubby doesn’t like Cream of Chicken so I substitute Cream of Onion and leave out the onion flakes.
Theresa says
Can fresh potatoes be subbed for the frozen hash?
Julie Evink says
I’m not sure since I’ve never tried it like that! If you do try it like that let me know how it goes!
Amy | Club Narwhal says
Julie, I am dying a little over here looking at this cheesy goodness! Potatoes are my favorite but I’ve never tried making them in a crock pot. That needs to be remedied immediately, obviously 🙂
