DELICIOUS CHEESE TOPPED POTATOES!
Is there anything better than potatoes, bacon and cheese? Honestly, it’s probably one of my favorite combinations of flavors. This recipe for Crock Pot Loaded Potatoes combines all your favorites for the perfect side dish or appetizer!
TIPS FOR MAKING CROCK POT LOADED BAKED POTATOES:
- It’s not absolutely necessary to line the slow cooker with aluminum foil, but I find it best so that you can easily pull it out of the slow cooker to serve.
- Try seasoning these with Ranch Seasoning Mix instead of paprika, salt and pepper. If you enjoy ranch, then you will love those combinations of flavors.
- Instead of serving with sour cream, I also enjoy eating these served with my Homemade Ranch Dressing.
- For this recipe, you could also use peeled and diced (into chunks) russet or gold potatoes.
- If too much condensation builds up under the lid while making these, just put a clean kitchen dish towel or a layer of paper towels under the lid to absorb the extra condensation.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- baby gold potatoes
- smoked paprika
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
- fresh minced garlic
- shredded cheddar cheese
- bacon
- sliced green onions
- sour cream
HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT LOADED POTATOES:
Line an oval 5-6 quart slow cooker with aluminum foil then spray with non-stick cooking spray. Add half the potatoes into the bottom of the slow cooker.
Season potatoes with the smoked paprika, salt, pepper and one clove of minced garlic.
Top with half the cheese, garlic, crumbled bacon, and green onions. Note: if you prefer, you can add the bacon and green onions just before serving. This will keep the bacon crispier and the green onions a brighter green colour.
Repeat for the second layer: potatoes, paprika, salt and pepper, minced garlic, shredded cheese, bacon and green onions.
Cover and cook on low until potatoes are tender, 2 to 3 hours. Serve with a drizzle of sour cream and more sliced green onion.
