Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Dish:

  • 6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1/8-inch thick)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild, your choice)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom for variety)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (or milk for a lighter option)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon or chopped green onions for topping

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Potatoes

  1. Peel and thinly slice the potatoes using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer for even thickness.
  2. Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water to prevent browning while you prepare the other ingredients.

2. Make the Sauce

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, chicken broth (or milk), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.

3. Layer in the Crockpot

  1. Grease your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or line it with a liner for easy cleanup.
  2. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. Layer half of the potato slices evenly on the bottom of the crockpot.
  4. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the potatoes.
  5. Pour half of the sauce mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
  6. Repeat the layers: potatoes, cheese, and sauce.
