Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes Recipe Questions Answered:
Can you reheat cheesy potatoes?
You can quickly reheat these cheesy potatoes by first placing them in an oven-safe container. Then cover them with a piece of foil and put them in the oven, which you have preheated to 350 degrees. Place the cheesy potatoes on the middle rack and bake for 15-20 minutes. Or until the potatoes are warmed all the way through.
How do you make Cheesy Potatoes from scratch?
- First, spray your Crock-Pot lightly with cooking spray then dump all the ingredients, except for the toppings into the crockpot.
- Next, stir until combined, and no sour cream streaks remain. Cook on low for 5 hours or low for 3 hours.
- Finally, 15 minutes before serving, top the potatoes with shredded cheese and green onions. Serve when the cheese topping is nice and melty.
How do you make cheesy potatoes in the oven?
If time is an issue, you can make this Cheesy Potato recipe in the oven instead of the Crock-Pot. Here’s how:
- Place all of the ingredients into a lightly greased 9-13-inch baking dish.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-60 minutes, or until bubbly and starting to brown in spots.

COOK’S NOTE – CROCKPOT CHEESY POTATOES:
- Your slow cooker must have a 4 quart capacity or larger for this recipe.
- You can double this recipe, just make sure you add 2 hours to the LOW cooking time, and 1 hour to the HIGH cooking time.
- You can prep this recipe ahead of time and store the slow cooker insert in your refrigerator until you’re ready to start cooking the cheesy hashbrown potatoes.
- When I’m making these for breakfast, sometimes I throw in some leftover, cooked bacon, or even some cooked breakfast sausage to the mix. Sometimes I also add some veggies like diced bell pepper or canned green chiles.
