Cheesy Breakfast Potatoes
Let’s not beat around the bush—these potatoes are the hero of any breakfast table. So, let’s get our game face on and roll up those sleeves (but not too much; we don’t want to spill coffee on our pajamas).
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds baby yellow potatoes, quartered (the cuter the potato, the better)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (because cheese makes everything better)
- 1/2 cup chopped onion (for that gourmet touch)
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (for a pop of color and crunch)
- 1/2 cup cooked crispy bacon, crumbled (not optional; it’s a serious upgrade)
- 1/4 cup sour cream (who doesn’t love a dollop of creamy goodness?)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (for that fresh zing!)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (let’s bring in the flavor)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (add a little smokey spice)
- Salt and pepper to taste (because, of course!)
Instructions:
- First, grab your trusty slow cooker. You know the one—it’s probably gathering dust on the shelf, just waiting for its moment of glory.
- Throw in those adorable baby yellow potatoes. Think of it as a cozy potato spa. They’re going to love it!
- Next up, in goes the chopped onion, bell pepper, and crumbled bacon. It’s like a party in there—everyone’s invited!
- Now sprinkle in garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Give it a good mix. We want these flavors to mingle like old friends catching up.
- Cover and set your slow cooker on low for about 6–7 hours. Or if you’re in a hurry, you can put it on high for about 3–4 hours. Either way, you’re in for a treat!
- About 30 minutes before serving, it’s time to add the cheddar cheese. Just imagine the melty goodness becoming a part of the potato party!
- Once done, give it a gentle stir, and top with sour cream and green onions. Voilà, breakfast is served! Your home will smell like a five-star diner, and your taste buds will be throwing a dance party.
Now go ahead, toss those carbs onto your plate and enjoy the cheesy, savory, and downright delicious experience that is Slow Cooker Cheesy Breakfast Potatoes. Mornings just became your favorite meal of the day!
