Ingredients
1 (28–32 oz) bag frozen crinkle cut fries
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
Prepare Slow Cooker: Lightly grease a 4–6 quart slow cooker with nonstick spray or a thin layer of oil.
Add Fries: Pour frozen crinkle cut fries into the slow cooker and spread into an even layer (no need to thaw).
Mix Sauce: In a bowl, combine cream of chicken soup and sour cream until smooth.
Layer Ingredients: Sprinkle 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the fries. Pour the soup mixture on top and gently spread to coat.
Cook: Cover and cook on HIGH for 3–4 hours or LOW for 5–6 hours, until fries are tender and slightly golden on edges.
Add Final Cheese: About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Cover and let melt until bubbly.
Serve: Serve hot directly from the slow cooker, either layered or gently mixed.
Notes
No need to thaw fries—use straight from the freezer.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika for extra flavor.
Swap cream of chicken with cream of mushroom or celery for a vegetarian option.
Mix in cooked chicken or ham for added protein.
A splash of milk when reheating helps restore creaminess.
