Potatoes have so many benefits that it can be easy to forget the downsides. We must remind ourselves of those downsides, especially as we prep this crockpot hashbrown casserole recipe.

In fact, the most crucial downside of potatoes to remember is they don’t keep well. Mashed potatoes will do just fine in the fridge for a day or two. But anything else, and you may run into some issues.

We all know that french fries don’t do well at all. But did you know that the reason is the moisture inside the fries? But fries are made of potatoes, which would have the same chemical reactions with moisture inside.

This hashbrown casserole will not reheat very well, so serve it up fresh.

This recipe is very simple to make; in fact, it is almost completely a dump-and-go recipe. You will need to get your favorite frozen bag of hashbrowns. You can use any hashbrowns you want, shredded, cubed, a mixture with veggies, really whatever kind is your favorite.

Lastly, you’ll need a can of cream of chicken soup, some butter, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, Lays plain potato chips, and a medium yellow onion. You will be dumping everything in the crockpot by the correct measurements, but the onion is what throws this recipe off from a dump-n-go.

You will need to dice the onion, so we can’t quite say this is a dump-n-go recipe, but it is very close.
