We love cheesy potatoes so much, that we have several similar recipes like our Crockpot Hash Brown Casserole and Cheesy Mashed Potato Casserole.
A Cheesy Side We love!
I think we can all agree that potatoes are the best! They can be cooked a hundred different delicious ways – as a side or main dish! We specifically love these cheesy potatoes because:
EXTRA CHEESY. Sometimes, you just need cheesy potatoes in your life and these are the perfect side for any meal or holiday, like Thanksgiving. SLOW COOKER. This recipe is practically a slow cooker version of our famous Funeral Potatoes. Dump them in and let the crockpot do all the work. MAKE AHEAD. Because this can be made ahead of time, they are especially perfect for holidays! They are also great to save on oven space.
This particular recipe serves 8, so if you’re making this for the holidays be sure to keep that in mind. We typically double it since they are always a hit!
