Preparation

  3. Fold in the shredded cheese, reserving a small amount for topping later.
  4. Transfer the potato mixture into the crockpot, spreading it evenly.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven. Consider adding a splash of milk for extra creaminess.
