Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes
Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes
Ingredients
Potatoes – 1.5 kg (about 3 lbs), peeled and thinly sliced
Heavy cream – 1 cup
Milk – 1 cup
All-purpose flour – 2 tablespoons
Salt – 1 teaspoon
Black pepper – ½ teaspoon
Garlic powder – ½ teaspoon
Onion powder – ½ teaspoon
Paprika – ¼ teaspoon
Shredded cheddar cheese – 1 cup
Grated Parmesan cheese – ½ cup
Unsalted butter – 1 tablespoon, cut into small pieces
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Make the Cream Sauce
In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
This will be your creamy base for the potatoes.
Step 3: Layer the Ingredients
Arrange a layer of thinly sliced potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Pour some of the cream sauce evenly over the potatoes.
Sprinkle a bit of cheddar and Parmesan cheese on top.
Repeat the layers until all the potatoes and sauce are used, finishing with a thick layer of cheese on top.
Step 4: Add Butter and Paprika
Dot the top layer with small pieces of butter and sprinkle paprika over it for a touch of color and flavor.
Step 5: Cook Until Tender
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are soft and easily pierced with a fork.
Step 6: Let It Rest
Once done, turn off the heat and let the dish sit for a few minutes.
This helps the sauce thicken and the flavors blend beautifully before serving.
