You had Me at Potatoes
When I named this dish, I really wanted to call it, “You had me at potatoes.” Seriously, I could live off of potatoes alone, if that were a thing, and I think it should be. What’s not to love about the potato? It’s so versatile. You can slice it, dice it, shred it, boil it, fry it, bake it and crock pot it. I’m sure I could think of more things you can do with it but I’ll stop there for now. I’ll tell you that you’re going to want to eat this Slow Cooker Cheesy Ham Hash Brown Casserole before it’s even fully cooked, it’s so good. Ask me how I know? Hey, being the taste tester has its perks. It also makes me admit things I probably shouldn’t. The best thing about this recipe besides the delicious flavor is that you don’t have to do any slicing, dicing or shredding of potatoes. You’re going to use Simply Potatoes shredded hash browns to help get this in that slow cooker super fast!
These are your ingredients, plus the two cups of shredded cheddar cheese that I left out of the photo. I did such a good job and then forgot the cheese. Man. Oh well, at least I remembered the potatoes because they’re the star of the dish!
Getting Started is Easy!
First, you’re adding two bags of Simply Potatoes shredded hash browns to your crock pot/slow cooker. Easy. Just tear open the bag and they’re ready to add!
Are you familiar with Simply Potatoes? Our family has been using them for … so long that I can’t remember when we didn’t use them. Anyway, they’re fresh, never frozen potatoes that you can find in the refrigerated dairy section of your grocery store. They are easy to prepare because there is no peeling or shredding required. YAY! They’re made with real ingredients and are proudly made by the Crystal Farms Company. Crystal Farms is also known for great-tasting, high-quality cheese, eggs, butter and English muffins found in the dairy section. Here’s a yummy post I made with Crystal Farms.
Next, combine half of the cheese, the diced ham, onions and stir.

I use Simply Potatoes in casseroles. Love them!
Wow this looks amazing! I’ve never tried simply potatoes but my favorite slow cooker recipe is chicken with mushroom soup and biscuits! ^^
We primarily use Simply Potatoes as a side dish. They are perfectly seasoned and the right consistency.
I like Simply Potatoes in a hasbrown casserole. My go to crockpot recipe is slow roasted pot roast and potatoes.
I like to make chili in the crock pot and we use the potatoes as a side dish
I have not tried the potatoes in my recipes. I am just gathering goods that I can cook in the slow cooker.
I can’t wait to try this recipe. Sounds yummy now that the weather is starting to actually feel like fall
I use simply potatoes as a side, but also have a brunch egg dish that uses hashbrowns as the base instead of bread that is a nice change! But I have never tried cooking them in a crockpot recipe. My crockpot is 40 years old! time for an update!
I like using Simply Potatos in soups.
Shouldn’t the recipe read LOW for 5-6 hours? All other recipes that I have come across say “low” for that amount of time.
Nope, it’s high for this recipe, but do what’s best for your crock pot and the way you want to cook. Happy cooking!
