Ingredients

• 3 pounds russet potatoes, thinly sliced
• 2 cups heavy cream

• 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

Optional garnish:

• Fresh chives or green onions

Directions

Lightly grease a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with butter or oil.

Wash and thinly slice the russet potatoes into even rounds for the best creamy texture.

In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, and kosher salt until smooth.

Layer one-third of the potatoes in the slow cooker. Pour one-third of the Parmesan cream mixture over the potatoes. Repeat the layers two more times.

Cover and cook on LOW for 4½ to 5½ hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce becomes thick and creamy.

During the last 20 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top. Cover and continue cooking until melted and golden.

Let the potatoes rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chives or green onions for extra flavor and color.
