A cozy, creamy crockpot potato dish made with simple ingredients and slow-cooked to silky perfection. Perfect for effortless comfort food on busy days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice 3 pounds of Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes (about 15 minutes).
  2. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and chopped onion, cooking until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add diced potatoes to the crockpot. Pour in chicken broth, sautéed garlic and onion, softened cream cheese, heavy cream, and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours until potatoes are fork-tender and mixture is creamy. Alternatively, cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
  5. About 15 minutes before serving, stir in shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan if using. Replace lid and allow cheese to melt.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped fresh chives or parsley before serving.

Notes

If potatoes seem thick after cooking, stir in a splash of cream or broth to loosen. Avoid stirring too often during cooking to maintain silky texture. Sautéing garlic and onion before slow cooking enhances flavor. Adding cheese near the end prevents greasiness. For vegan or dairy-free versions, substitute butter and cream cheese with plant-based alternatives and use vegetable broth.
