Notes

  1. Potato texture: the texture of your finished product will turn out best if the potatoes are thawed in the fridge overnight. Thawing should always occur at a safe food storage temperature.
  2. For convenience: I use frozen potatoes. You are certainly free to use fresh potatoes.
  3. More Oven Space: If you are making a festive dinner and you a using your stove and ovens, this is a great way to use another appliance.
  4. Serve With Everything! This side dish goes with just about any main dish. Plan ahead earlier in the day, and this dish will be ready for dinner!
  5. Add-ins: Feel free to add seasoned ground beef, sausage, or green chilis or peppers. There are numerous variations. Be creative!
  6. So Easy: To make this dish, combine all your ingredients in a crock pot, cook for a few hours, then sprinkle with some extra cheese. That’s it, as simple as advertised! Cheesy potatoes crock pot style will keep in the fridge for a couple of days.
