Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes ~
Rich, creamy, and ultra cheesy!
Fresh Russett potatoes are cubed then coated in a savory homemade vegan cheese sauce and tossed in the slow cooker.
So easy!
Don’t you love a good crockpot recipe? I’m all about the ones that clock in under the 8-hour mark. I mean, I have stuff to do in the mornings so if the prep work can wait until 10 or even after lunchtime, I’m all in.
These easy, cheesy potatoes can be prepped in about 15 minutes and are ready to serve in about 4 hours.
Fresh potatoes cut into cubes no larger than 1/2-inch.
Perfect for potlucks and holidays, especially Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter dinner. These potatoes would also be good for Mother’s Day brunch.
Ready to cook on low for 4 hours.
I’m warning you though – these cheesy potatoes are seriously addictive!
True story: As soon as the potatoes were done, I could not stop eating them straight out of the crockpot. Burned my tongue but it was totally worth it. Also, you don’t want to serve these super hot anyway because the flavor develops more as the temperature comes down a bit.
So cheesy!
Note: this recipe calls for a 6-quart slow cooker.
