  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  • Sprinkle the chopped onion over the top, if using.
  • Add the shredded cheddar jack cheese and gently stir until everything is evenly combined.

Notes

Storage:
Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Be sure to remove them from the slow cooker and cool completely.
To reheat, place potatoes in an oven-safe dish and warm at 350-degrees until hot and bubbly, and the cheese is melty, about 15 minutes. You can also microwave these potatoes if you're in a pinch.
