Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 10.5 ounces Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium (finely diced) Onion
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups (optional, chopped for garnish) Green onions
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch and drain well.
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Stir in the diced onions and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Add the cubed potatoes to the slow cooker, then pour the cheese mixture over the top. Gently stir to coat the potatoes evenly without mashing them.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Once the potatoes are fully cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve warm and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
