Creamy, cheesy, lots of flavor, and of course, super easy. The slow cooker and a bag of frozen hash browns make this a low-prep side dish that doesn’t need babysitting.

These only need a few ingredients and is easy to throw together. They’re cheesy and creamy and filling, making them a hit with kids and adults.

Ingredients and Tools You’ll Need
Frozen diced hash browns make this so easy, but you can also use frozen shredded hash browns. And if you for some reason want to use fresh potatoes you can (though I don’t). Just peel and dice them yourself. Remember that they might take a bit longer to cook and might need a little extra liquid (like a splash of milk) to keep them creamy.

This makes 10 servings in a 6-quart slow cooker.

How to Make Cheesy Crockpot Hash Browns
Step One: Mix It All Up
Throw the frozen hashbrowns and diced onion in your crockpot. Add your salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Now for the creamy part – add the mayo, cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, and 2½ cups of that cheddar. Mix it all up until everything’s combined. Don’t worry if it looks like a mess at first.
Step Two: Top With Cheese
Sprinkle that last ½ cup of cheese right on top.

Step Three: Cook and Wait
Cover it up and let it cook on low for 4 hours. You’ll know it’s done when the edges are bubbly and the potatoes are fork-tender.

Storing & Serving
Leftovers will keep quite well in the fridge in an airtight container for 3 days. Unfortunately, it does not freeze well.
Perfect for serving with anything from a brunch with friends to a holiday dinner. Here are some of our favorite serving ideas:
- Cast iron skillet omelet is easy to make in one pan (no scary flipping).
- Old fashioned yeast rolls are fluffy and buttery and are relatively foolproof.
