Crafty Lady 13's Note:

Easy, cheesy potatoes to make that are a real crowd pleaser. These are made with frozen shredded hash browns and you can make these in the oven or in the crockpot. Very easy to make and loaded with flavor. You could add cubed ham to this and serve it as an entree with a salad and rolls.

We loved these potatoes! I made half the recipe and used the cheddar cheese soup, french fried onions, and dried minced onion. Nice and golden brown when taken out of the oven and some of the potatoes were crispy around the edges, my favorites. Thank you Crafty Lady 13 for sharing this recipe. Made and reviewed for the Australia/NewZealand Forums Recipe Tag #28.

I LOVE this cheesy potatoe recipe - it is perfection in a crockpot! I also add 8 oz. of cream cheese (regular or light neufatchel) and it turns out delicious every time.
