Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker by thoroughly coating the interior with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

- Fold diced potatoes and chopped onions into the creamy mixture, ensuring each piece is completely coated.
- Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared slow cooker, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Generously distribute shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the potato layer, creating a complete coverage.
- Set the slow cooker to low heat and allow potatoes to cook for 4-5 hours, or alternatively use high heat for 2-3 hours until potatoes reach a tender consistency.
- Once cooking is complete, gently stir the potatoes to redistribute the cheese and seasonings.
- Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and a burst of herbal freshness before serving.
Notes
- Ensure even potato cuts for consistent cooking and texture.
