Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon Ground black pepper plus more to taste
- ½ sweet onion diced
- 1 (32-ounce) bag frozen diced potatoes thawed
- 1 cup Monterrey jack cheese freshly shredded
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese freshly shredded
Instructions
- Spray the inside of a large 6-quart crock pot with non-stick cooking spray. Break up the frozen diced potatoes and allow them to thaw before cooking.
- For best results, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in the crock pot until smooth before mixing with the diced onion and thawed potatoes.
- Fold the shredded cheese into the potato mixture. Optional - Set aside half of the cheese and sprinkle over the top of the potatoes in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours.
- Serve warm and season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
Notes
- Cream of chicken soup alternatives: Cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup. You can also make this recipe with homemade cream of chicken soup.
- Potato alternatives: You can also make this recipe with frozen, thawed hash browns or fresh potatoes. To use fresh (rather than frozen) potatoes, use red potatoes, Yukon gold, or Idaho potatoes. The cooking time may take longer for raw potatoes.
- Leftovers: Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Doubling the recipe: If you double the recipe it will still fit in a 6-quart crock pot. You may need to add additional cooking time (about an hour or so), however, to get everything hot and bubbly.
- Optional: You can add a crispy topping similar to my Funeral Potatoes Recipe! Combine 1-2 cups of crushed cornflakes or Ritz crackers with four tablespoons of melted butter. Spread out over a lined baking sheet and toast in a preheated 325-degree oven for approximately 8-10 minutes. Sprinkle over the potatoes before serving.
