Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 10.5 ounces Cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium (finely diced) Onion
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 cups (optional, chopped for garnish) Green onions

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch and drain well.

Step 2

Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Stir in the diced onions and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Add the cubed potatoes to the slow cooker, then pour the cheese mixture over the top. Gently stir to coat the potatoes evenly without mashing them.

Step 6

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are fully cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Serve warm and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
