- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup yellow onion diced into 1/2" pieces
- 20-24 ounces frozen shredded potatoes Most of a 30 oz bag- No need to thaw
- 1 10-ounce can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheese (divided)
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 1 cup chicken broth
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spray the inside of a 9" x 13" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the butter. Once melted, add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion lightly caramelizes—about 5 minutes. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded potatoes, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, 1½ cups shredded cheese, cooked onions, garlic salt, and chicken broth. Stir until well mixed.
Spread the potato mixture into your prepared 9" x 13" baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese evenly over the top.
Put in the oven and bake, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes or until the edges are bubbly and lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and enjoy!
Storing leftovers: store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Reheating: Place the desired amount of potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 1 minute, stir and heat again until warm. Or, place in a preheated oven until warm.
Slow cooker time on high. The 2–3 hours on high is my estimate. Adjust it if your Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes post says something different.
