Crowd Pleasing Cheesy Potatoes (Instant Pot/Crockpot)

These potatoes are the perfect side dish to serve to a crowd. The recipe can be double or tripled and comes together quickly (there’s not peeling or chopping potatoes!). Nobody can resist these cheesy potatoes. Try making these in your Instant Pot or your Crockpot soon.

Ingredients/Substitution Ideas

You only need a few ingredients to create these delicious cheesy potatoes!

  • Butter–or margarine
  • Cream of chicken soup–or cream of mushroom. You can also make your own cream of chicken from scratch.
  • Diced green chiles–I usually buy mild.
  • Sour cream–or plain yogurt
  • Black pepper–or white pepper
  • Kosher salt–or sea salt
  • Cheddar cheese–or another type of cheese you love
  • Frozen O’Brien potatoes–or hashbrowns

Instructions

For this recipe we will be using the slow cooker function on the Instant Pot instead of the pressure cook function. This is a perfect recipe to make ahead of time while you prepare a turkey or ham to serve for a big family dinner. It can stay on the keep warm setting for many hours and taste just as good as when it was first made.

Instant Pot Instructions:

  1. Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting. Add in the butter and let it melt. Stir in the cream of chicken, green chiles, sour cream, pepper, salt and cheese. Stir well to combine and melt the cheese.
  2. Pour in the potatoes and stir to coat well.
  3. Turn off the sauté setting. Turn Instant Pot to the slow cooker “more” setting for 60 minutes. Stir and then cook for another 30 minutes. (If your potatoes are thawed it won’t take this long). 
  4. Scoop up and serve or turn to “keep warm” setting until ready to eat.

I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*.

Crockpot Instructions:

  1. Turn slow cooker to high setting. Melt ½ cup of butter and add it into the slow cooker. Stir in the cream of chicken, green chiles, sour cream, pepper, salt and cheese. Stir well to combine.
  2. Pour in the potatoes and stir to coat well.
  3. Turn slow cooker to high setting and cook for 2-3 hours.
  4. Scoop up and serve or turn to “keep warm” setting until ready to eat.

What Are Potatoes O’Brien?

Potatoes O’Brien is a classic side dish dating back to the early 1900’s made from fried, diced potatoes, plus red and green bell peppers and other seasonings. This recipe uses the frozen potatoes o’brien that you can easily find at your grocery store. No chopping or peeling potatoes for this dish!

Can I double this recipe?

Yes this is a perfect recipe to double or triple for a crowd! Double all the ingredients and increase the cooking time by 20 minutes. You can make this in a 6 or 8 quart Instant Pot or Crockpot.

How to store the leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also store these potatoes in the freezer, although the sauce will most likely separate when you reheat.

    Sounds like a nice change of pace from Mac and Cheese.

    Is it possible to use a regular crockpot rather than the crockpot function on the IP?

      yes…any slow cooker will work:
      Turn slow cooker to high setting. Melt ½ cups of butter and add it into the slow cooker. Stir in the cream of chicken, green chiles, sour cream, pepper, salt and cheese. Stir well to combine.
      Pour in the potatoes and stir to coat well.
      Turn slow cooker to high setting and cook for 2 hours.
      Scoop up and serve or turn to “keep warm” setting until ready to eat.

    Since this recipe is using the slow cooker function of the IP, a lid is needed, right? I don’t see any mention of covering with a lid in the instructions, and I don’t think I have one….if I do, I don’t know what I did with it! It seems like one came with it, but…. ?

      Just use the normal lid. It will be fine

        Just don’t lock the lid on the pot.
