These Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes for a crowd are an easy, creamy, & cheesy side dish that is perfect for any holiday event, family gathering or weekday dinner.

With less than 10 ingredients, you can create a cheesy potato recipe to feed the entire family. Depending on the size of the event, I have even made a double batch by cooking one batch in my slow cooker & one batch in the oven – or go ahead and mix the two together if you have a large enough crockpot or pan for the oven. 

I have found that people will serve seconds and thirds of this comfort food, especially my husband!

PRO TIP: You can bake these potatoes the day before then transfer to the crockpot to reheat. I prefer this route when I need to transport this dish to an event.

It was stated that this “double baked” cheesy potato method was by far the best this dish has ever tasted. I received the most compliments ever on a recipe using the bake then slow cook method.

Start by placing frozen hash browns in a large mixing bowl. Next, add onions, butter, salt, pepper, sour cream, a can of cream of mushroom soup and cheese. 

INGREDIENT SWAP: A can of cream of chicken soup can be substituted for a can of cream of mushroom soup if you prefer.

You can even make a Quick Cream of Mushroom Soup if you do not have a can of cream of mushroom in your pantry.

Stir until the ingredients are well combined. 

Slowly pour into your crockpot and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours. 

When finished, add your favorite garnish or toppings. 

I typically sprinkle parsley, black pepper or more cheese on top of my cheesy slow cooker potatoes. Here are other options to try:

• Bacon Bits 
• Green onions slices
• Crushed crackers 
• Canadian bacon strips 
• Crushed corn flakes
