How to Make Slow Cooker Cheesy Potatoes

In a large bowl, stir together frozen diced potatoes, cream of potato soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and cooked bacon.  Season with salt and black pepper. Pour the potato mixture into the slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours. Sprinkle the potatoes with parsley before serving.

    1. Well, both are real bacon. You can cook your own bacon or use precooked bacon crumbles. Either is just fine. The precooked bacon is great when you are short on time.

  1. I also would like to know if you could use regular potatoes instead of frozen hash browns… If so do I boil the potatoes first, or add them in uncooked.

  2. Stephanie,
    this sounds like a great recipe – for dinner or for a brunch with friends. I love your blog and find more recipes on yours than anyone else’s I read. Thanks so much for bringing us new recipes to use and brighten our lives!

  3. In your recipe for shredded Cracked Out Potatoes, you include a package of ranch seasoning. Would that work in the crock pot as well? I've tried the shredded ones, and they're delicious! I just need something for the slow cooker this time. (Apologies if this is a duplicate post.)

  4. A few years ago I came across the most delicious cheesy potatoes I had ever eaten. I asked for the recipe and it was the same as I had always made (and the recipe you provide above), except french onion dip was substituted for the sour cream. The flavor was out of this world! I will definitely be trying my next batch this way, in the slow cooker, and can't wait to see how the addition of the bacon lends to the already delicious flavor. Thanks!

    1. I love using French Onion Dip in casseroles! I am making the French Onion potato casserole this weekend. It is so yummy. I bet it wold work great in this recipe too.
