Ingredients
- 3 medium russet potatoes (about 500g), peeled and diced

- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (about 200g)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions

Notes
Russet potatoes are the ideal choice for this dish, as they have a high starch content that helps create a creamy texture when cooked in the slow cooker. Avoid using waxy potatoes, as they may not break down as easily.
When it comes to slow cooking, patience is key. Resist the urge to lift the lid too often, as this can prolong the cooking time and affect the overall texture of the dish.
