Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • cups onion diced (white or yellow)
  • 20 ounces frozen shredded potatoes
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 10.5-ounce can cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt

Instructions

  • Spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat, then add the butter. Once melted, add the onions.  Saute until they are soft, tender, and caramelized.
  • Transfer to the slow cooker and add the frozen shredded potatoes, 1½ cups of shredded cheese, sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, and the garlic salt. Stir to combine.
  • Spread the mixture in to the bottom of the slow cooker with a spoon and add the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese.  
  • Cover and cook on high for 2½- 3 hours, or low for 4-5 hours—until the cheese is melted and slightly golden. Once cooked, let the potatoes cool for about 10 minutes before serving.  Enjoy!

Notes

Storing Instructions
  • Refrigerator: store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for 4-5 days.
  • To reheat in the oven:  spread the potatoes 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.  
  • To reheat in the microwave: spread the potatoes evenly on a microwave-safe plate and heat in 30-second increments with stirring, until heated throughout.
