FAQs & Tips

Can you make this ahead of time?

Yes! You can prep the ingredients the night before and store them in the fridge. In the morning, add the food to the slow cooker and start cooking.

Can you use a different cheese?

Of course. While the recipe calls for cheddar other suggestions include Swiss, Monterey Jack, pepper jack, etc.

Can you use a different meat?

You can. Substitute another cooked meat of your choice. Other suggestions include cooked bacon or sausage. 

Can you make this vegetarian?

Absolutely! Simply omit the ham or replace it with plant-based option.

Can you use fresh potatoes instead of frozen?

Honestly, frozen diced potatoes or hash browns work best. If you use fresh potatoes, peel and dice them small so they cook evenly.

Can this recipe stay on the WARM setting?

Yes! If you are serving these cheesy potatoes for a gathering, keep the slow cooker on the warm setting to keep the dish heated. 

Can you add a crunchy topping?

Add ingredients like crushed crackers, bacon, or even breadcrumbs the last 10-15 minutes for extra texture.

How do you store leftovers?

Store leftover slow cooker cheesy breakfast potatoes in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. 

What size slow cooker did I use?

I use a 3.5-quart slow cooker for this recipe. Feeding a larger crowd? Double the recipe and use a larger slow cooker.
