Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large (about 2.5 lbs) Russet potatoes
- 2 cups, shredded Sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 ounces, softened Cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons, melted Butter
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional)
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Spray the inside of a crock pot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the cubed potatoes into the crock pot.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Pour the cheese mixture over the potatoes. Stir to coat the potatoes evenly.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes, reserving the remaining cheese for later.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
During the last 20 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the potatoes and replace the lid to allow the cheese to melt.
Once the cheese has melted, garnish with chopped green onions (if desired) and serve warm.
