Cheesy Crockpot Potatoes

I never thought you could make potatoes in a crockpot. So, when I saw a pin on Pinterest for a side dish of cheesy crockpot potatoes, I knew I had to make this recipe.

Potatoes, cheese, bacon, onions, and garlic give you a classic taste.

What I like about this recipe, apart from its deliciousness, is that it is very easy to make. Depending on your schedule, you can choose a crockpot cooking time of 6 to 8 hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high.

If you’ve never made potatoes in a crockpot before, you’ll be delighted with how good these cheesy crockpot potatoes with bacon taste!

How to Make Cheesy Crockpot Potatoes

2. Slice potatoes in half horizontally and then vertically.
3. Cut quartered potatoes into approximately 1/4-inch slices.
4. Line the bottom of the foil-lined Crockpot with a layer of potatoes, onions, and garlic. Sprinkle potatoes with salt and pepper. 

5. Add remaining sliced potatoes and onions and season them with salt and pepper.

8. When the cooking time is done, top with cheese and sliced green onions.

Recipe Notes and Variations

• To make crockpot cheesy hashbrowns, swap out the fresh potatoes for frozen hashbrowns. Using frozen hashbrowns makes this cheesy potato recipe even easier to make.
• You can make this in the oven if you want. Cook for about 45 minutes at 350°F. 
• A reader suggested adding a cup of mayonnaise.
• If you use fresh chives or fresh garlic chives, you would need to add them close to the end of cooking time; otherwise, they will turn into mush.
• I also suggest that you put on half of the cheese during the cooking. Then once the potatoes are done, turn off the heat and add the remaining cheese.
