Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes peeled and thinly sliced, or frozen diced/hash-brown-style potatoes
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup use gluten-free if needed
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chives chopped, for garnish

Method
 

  1. If using fresh potatoes, peel and slice them into ¼-inch rounds. Set aside. Frozen potatoes may be used directly without prep.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Stir until smooth.
  3. Lightly grease the crockpot insert. Layer half of the potatoes in the bottom, followed by half of the cheese mixture. Repeat with remaining potatoes and cheese mixture.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are fork-tender and the sauce is bubbly.
  5. Gently stir before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives. Add extra cheese on top if desired and let melt before serving.

Notes

This dish pairs perfectly with roasted meats, ham, or turkey and reheats beautifully.
