    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use raw potatoes in crockpot cheesy potatoes?


    Yes, you can peel and dice or shred fresh potatoes.  This takes a little longer to prep but works just as well. You can also use leftover baked potatoes for this recipe.  Just peel, if desired, and cut into chunks for the potato casserole. 

    Can I use diced potatoes?

    Yes, it just gives the casserole a little different texture and takes a little longer to cook.

    How to store and/or reheat cheesy potatoes?

    Keep the leftovers in the fridge in an air-tight container for 4-5 days. 
    Oven: To reheat the potatoes, you can spread them in a small casserole dish, top with more cheese, and reheat in a 325-degree oven for 30 minutes or until warm throughout and the cheese if melted.  
    Microwave: To reheat the potatoes in the microwave, spread them evenly on a microwave-safe plate and heat in 30-second increments with stirring, until heated throughout.

        I used the Simply Potato fresh hash brown. Also sautéed the onion first. Also seasoned with Rosemary. Cooked four hours on slow.

      What is you don’t want to use cream of mushroom soup? (Hubby hates mushrooms!)

        You could use cream of chicken soup too. However, I'm guessing he would never know there is cream of mushroom soup in them. It just adds a creaminess and also a meaty rich flavor. It doesn't have a strong mushroom flavor.

      Could I make this in a casserole the night before, then transfer to a crockpot, reheat to take to a tailgate? I can plug in once there but I need to transfer this way

      If this recipe is doubled does the slow cooking time change?

        You may need to add an hour or so. Something that might helo is if you stir it half way through and then add a little more cheese on top. If you have that much in there it would help to distribute the hot potatoes throughout. Great idea though. I'm making potatoes for a crowd and I'm going to double mine too!

          You bet! You can make them a day or two in advance. Just be sure to let the casserole dish come up to room tempreture before adding it to a hot oven. You can shatter a glass baking dish if it's cold and you insert it in a hot oven.

      You give all the nutritional information for this recipe (which is great), but don’t state the serving size. Based off 8 people... but how much did those 8 people get? 1 cup? 2 cups?

        Hi there - thanks for your question! In a single batch of this recipe, each serving for 8 people would be a little over 3/4 cup.
