Easy Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes Recipe

This crockpot cheesy potatoes recipe by The Anthony Kitchen on YouTube shows how to use fresh potatoes, hash browns, or frozen potatoes for an easy dish. I would prefer to use frozen potatoes because it would save so much time in the kitchen. The homemade cheese sauce is easy to make and it’s rich and decadent. Cheesy potatoes are one of my favorites, and I think it would be perfect to slow cook and stay cheesy. This is the perfect comfort food to serve as a side dish with other foods. Also, I love how the recipe gives options to use the type of potatoes to use, but of course, “fresh is the best.”

Ingredients:

• 4 large russet potatoes or 6 medium-sized ones or frozen diced potatoes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 cup unsalted (or low-sodium) chicken broth
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 3/4 cups freshly grated Cheddar cheese

Directions:

First, prepare the potatoes and it depends on if you’re using frozen fresh potatoes. Prepare the cheese sauce by melting butter in a saucepan over the stovetop. Add the onions and cook until it’s softened. Add the flour followed by the chicken broth, slowly splash it in a little at a time so the consistency stays nice and smooth. Then, add in the rest of the ingredients and stir.

Next, add your potatoes into the crockpot and pour the sauce to stir in. Set the crockpot on low and cook for about 3-5 hours. Continue to watch The Anthony Kitchen tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details.
