Step 3 – Next, pour this mixture all over the potatoes in the crock pot. Top with the grated cheese.

Step 4 – Stir everything together to make sure all of the potatoes are well coated.

Step 5 – Finally, put the lid on the crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours or on low heat for 8 hours.

Recipe Tips

• Programmable Crock Pot  – so handy to use if you are going to be away from the house. Just set it and forget it! You can come home to the side dish being all ready to go.
• Crock Pot Liners – These make clean up super easy. It is optional but you will love just being able to toss the liner when you are finished. If you don’t use crock pot liners, I would spray the slow cooker with cooking spray.
• Cut Potatoes – To prepare this recipe, make sure to cut the potatoes in about the same size pieces. This helps to cook the potatoes evenly.
• Combining Ingredients – When combining the ingredients, make sure to coat the potatoes completely with the seasoning.

Variations Ideas

• Change the Potatoes – We used red potatoes in this recipe, but you can also use Yukon Gold Potatoes or Russet Potatoes.
• Seasoning – Feel free to seasoning the potatoes with fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary, oregano, paprika and other delicious seasoning.
