This slow cooker 4-ingredient cheesy potato recipe is one of those cozy, set-it-and-forget-it dishes that feels like a hug in a bowl. It’s inspired by the classic Midwestern funeral potatoes you’ll see at potlucks, church suppers, and family gatherings—the kind of dish that disappears fast from the buffet table. You might want to make this when you need something easy that still tastes like you put in a lot of love: busy weeknights, game days, or when you’ve got family coming over and want a warm, comforting side that everyone—kids and adults—will happily pile onto their plates.
These cheesy potatoes are rich and comforting, so they pair really well with simple main dishes like roasted or grilled chicken, baked ham, or meatloaf. If you’re doing a casual family dinner, serve them alongside steamed green beans, a tossed salad, or roasted broccoli to balance out the creaminess. For a weekend brunch, they’re wonderful next to scrambled eggs, bacon, or sausage links. If you’re bringing them to a potluck, set them out with other crowd-pleasers like dinner rolls, coleslaw, and a fruit salad so everyone can build a hearty, colorful plate.
