Description
Crockpot Loaded Potatoes are a creamy and delicious dish made with tender russet potatoes, topped with cheese, bacon, and green onions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup milk (optional, for creaminess)
Instructions
- Prick each potato several times with a fork and season with salt and pepper. Wrap each potato in aluminum foil and place them in the crockpot.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the potatoes from the crockpot and unwrap them. Cut each potato lengthwise and gently squeeze to open.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and milk (if using). Stir well to combine.
- Spoon the sour cream mixture into each potato, then top with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions.
- Return the loaded potatoes to the crockpot and cover. Cook on low for an additional 30 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious loaded potatoes!
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties, such as pepper jack or mozzarella, for a unique flavor twist.
