These Crockpot cheesy hashbrowns will keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can warm them through in the oven at 350F until the cheese has melted to serve.

What’s the best cheese to use for potato casserole?

I like to use a shredded cheddar cheese for this casserole. It’s best to use freshly grated rather than pre-grated. Pre-grated usually has a coating on it, which makes the cheese harder to melt.

For the cream cheese, I prefer to use full fat, but you can use a reduced fat one if you prefer.

Can you cook hashbrown potato casserole this in the oven?

I love the convience of cooking this side in the slow cooker as it frees up oven space, perfect if you are planning to serve it as part of a big feast. If you prefer, you can cook it in the oven in less time.

Simply mix the ingredients and place in a large baking dish. Bake in the oven at 350F for around 30 to 40 minutes. If the top starts to brown, you can cover it with some foil.
