Ingredients You’ll Need
To create this delicious scalloped potato dish, gather the following ingredients:
4 to 5 medium potatoes (russet or Yukon Gold work well)
1 onion (thinly sliced)
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar is a favorite, but feel free to mix in your favorite varieties)
2 cups heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
3 tablespoons butter (cut into small pieces)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Optional: fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for added flavor
Directions
Prep the Potatoes: Start by peeling the potatoes and slicing them into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. This ensures even cooking and creamy texture.
Layer the Ingredients: In your slow cooker, begin layering the ingredients. Start with a layer of sliced potatoes, followed by a sprinkle of sliced onions, a layer of cheese, and a sprinkle of minced garlic. Season each layer with salt and pepper.
Repeat Layers: Continue layering the potatoes, onions, and cheese until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
Pour the Cream: Gently pour the heavy cream over the layered potatoes, ensuring it seeps down to the bottom. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours. The potatoes should be tender and the cheese bubbly when done.
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, give the scalloped potatoes a gentle stir to mix in the cheese and cream. Serve hot as a comforting side dish that everyone will love!
