Notes

  1. Frozen potatoes: I've found that the Southern-style cubed potatoes work best for slow cooker cheesy potatoes. Hash brown shredded potatoesm which I use for oven-baked cheesy potatoes tend to get too mushy in the slow cooker. a cheese topping.
  2. Add a cheese topping. If desired, reserve ½ cup of cheese. Fifteen minutes before serving,  sprinkle reserved cheese on top, cover, and let cheese melt. This makes a nice cheesy topping for the potatoes.
  3. Add a crispy cornflake topping. Mix ½ cup melted butter with 1 ½  cups cornflakes. Sprinkle the topping on for the last half hour of cooking time. I like to drape paper towels over the top of the crockpot, then put the lid back on so the condensation on the lid doesn't drip down and make the topping soggy.
  4. Make a double batch. Double all ingredients. Make sure you have a large enough slow cooker! Cook an additional hour. 
  5. Possible add-ins: Finely chopped onions (1 cup) can be added to the potatoes, if desired. More add ins: diced ham, crumbled bacon, cooked sausage, peppers.
