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!

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.
