For many years I have baked Hashbrown Casserole in the oven, but as my family and menu grows, I sometimes need to free up oven space, so I decided to try my hand at making Slow Cooker Hash Brown Casserole.

It turned out fantastic, and the family loves it just as much as the oven baked variety.

Do I need shredded hashbrowns or diced cubed hashbrowns for Hashbrown Casserole?

Either type works just fine for Hashbrown Casserole. You could even use the bigger blocks (like McDonald’s serves) just chop them up first into smaller pieces. You could also use Tater Tots, if you really wanted.

Should the potatoes be fresh or frozen?

For slow cooker hash brown casserole, either will work fine, frozen may need some extra cooking time.
