Next time you're having any part or get-together and need a super easy to prepare recipe that everyone is going to love, I'd definitely recommend making this 5 ingredient slow cooker cheesy potatoes recipe!
Let's say your oven is full of other things (like this oven baked pork roast) and you need oven space, or it's 90+ degrees outside (and the last thing you want to do is spend time cooking, over a hot stove), these cheesy potatoes made in a slow cooker are the recipe for you!!
These 5 ingredient crockpot cheesy potatoes are THE answer. And all you need is 5 ingredients:
- Frozen diced potatoes
- Sour cream
- Cream of chicken soup
- Garlic salt
- Cheddar jack cheese
Simple mix a few ingredients and put them in a crockpot/slowcooker and set it and forget it.
If you're feeling extra fancy you can stir it a time or two while cooking, but I've done it both with and without stirring lol, and they turn out great either way.
The key to making this dish is the cheese. You may have had cheesy potatoes in the past and noticed that there seems to be a greasy texture or layer at the bottom that pools up (kind gross, right?) … well that's because the wrong type of cheese was used.
I like to use a blend of cheddar-montery jack cheese, called cheddar jack. It works like a charm and really is the best cheese to use for these cheesy potatoes!
We had a family get together and the menu was grilled burgers, a simple side salad, the balsamic grilled vegetables side dish recipe, and these cheesy potatoes…soooo yummy! I've also made these potatoes countless times for parties: baptism parties, birthdays, family dinners. They're always a huge hit and everyone loves the cheesy potatoes (and I love how easy they are to make!) If you're looking for another slow cooker potatoes recipe, these are also 5 ingredients and are a butter herb slow cooker potato recipe.
