Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 0.5 cup Butter
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Chopped green onions (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Place the cubed potatoes in the crock pot and add 1/4 cup of water to prevent them from sticking to the bottom.

Step 3

Cut the butter and cream cheese into smaller pieces and scatter them over the potatoes.

Step 4

Add the sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the crock pot.

Step 5

Stir everything together gently, making sure the potatoes are evenly coated with the mixture.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours, until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese has completely melted and combined with the potatoes.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top and cover the crock pot again for 5-10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired, before serving.

Step 10

Serve the rich and creamy crock pot potatoes warm as a side dish.
