Description

Unleash the flavor with Crockpot Party Potatoes, a symphony of shredded hash browns, rich French onion dip, gooey cheddar cheese, and a decadent Ritz cracker crust, all slow-cooked to perfection—a delightful side dish that effortlessly steals the spotlight at any festive gathering


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package shredded hash browns (frozen)
  • 1 package French onion dip
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream (or half and half, or a can of cream of chicken/cream of mushroom soup)
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 small sleeves of Ritz crackers (crushed)

Instructions

  1. Place the shredded hash browns directly into the crockpot, even if they are frozen.

  2. Add the entire container of French onion dip, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese.

  3. Pour in the 1.5 cups of heavy cream (or your preferred substitute like half and half, or a can of cream of chicken/cream of mushroom soup).

  4. Mix and stir all the ingredients thoroughly in the crockpot.

  5. Cook on low for approximately 4 hours, ensuring the potatoes are fully cooked, and the cheese is melted to perfection.

  6. In a separate dish, melt the 1/4 cup of butter and combine it with the crushed Ritz crackers, creating a Ritz cracker crust.

  7. Spread the Ritz cracker crust over the cooked potatoes in the crockpot.

  8. Continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the crust to set.

  9. Optionally, for a crispier top, you can transfer the crockpot mixture to the oven for a brief period.

  10. Serve these Crockpot Party Potatoes as a delightful and flavorful side dish, or consider them as a main dish for a satisfying meal.

Notes

Note: Customize the level of crispiness on the top according to your preference, and enjoy this easy, low-ingredient crockpot creation at your next gathering.
