Description

Creamy and cheesy, these Slow Cooker Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes are an easy and satisfying comfort food that elevates any meal to new heights.

Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs potatoes, thinly sliced
1 onion, chopped
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

Prep the Potatoes: Wash and slice your potatoes into thin, even rounds.
Chop the Onion: Dice the onion finely.
Mingle the Flavors: In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
Layer it Up: Start layering your ingredients in the slow cooker. Begin with a layer of the potato mixture, then sprinkle a portion of the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with cheese on top.
Add the Creaminess: In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and milk. Slowly pour this mixture over the layered potatoes, ensuring all layers are covered. Dot the top with butter.
Set the Cooker: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it on low for about 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
The Big Reveal: Once the cooking time is up, carefully remove the lid and savor the cheesy aroma. Let it cool slightly before serving!

Notes

For the best texture, use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold. Customize the cheese with varieties like mozzarella, Gruyere, or pepper jack. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-5 days in the refrigerator or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C).
