Perfect side dish to for any occasion. Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole made in the slow cooker. Filled with sour cream and cheese and cooked to perfection.
I used to make a version in my oven, and it finally dawned on me to try it out in my slow cooker. It worked great! I like to serve these potatoes with prime rib, or steaks. Each bite I take has a little meat, and a little potato, match made in heaven!
I took a picture of the hash browns I use below. Every time I use a packaged potato product, people want to be sure to get the right one, so here it is, no confusion. I did add these potatoes to my slow cooker frozen, and it did fine.
Make sure to spray your slow cooker very, very well with non-stick spray! You’ll thank me later.
Don’t these look amazing? I don’t recommend making this cheesy of a dish everyday, but this recipe is perfect for a special dinner or party.

How many would this feed as a side dish? Do you think I could double it? I’m having a party for 60 people.
Hi! this recipe serves 8 as a side dish. I’m unsure how this would turn out doubled in the slow cooker, I don’t know if the potatoes would cook in the center before burning around the edges.
Could you use frozen diced potatoes instead?
I’m unsure without testing it first for timing and flavor. I apologize.
I add a stick of butter to mine.
Can you freeze this after it’s cooked?
Potaotes don’t freeze well, I apologize.
I thought so; too bad!
