Step 1

Add all of the ingredients (using only 1 cup of the cheese) to a large bowl and stir together to combine. Spray the insert of a 4-6 quart slow cooker and add the potato mixture, spreading out in an even layer.

Step 2

Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours. Stir the potatoes once during cooking if possible.

Step 3

During the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the remaining cup of cheese in an even layer to the top of the potatoes. Cover and let the cheese melt during the last 30 minutes of the cooking time.

Step 4

You can keep these potatoes on the “warm” setting on your crock pot if serving at a party or holiday.
