Ingredients:
2 pounds potatoes, thinly sliced (Yukon Gold or Russet work best for scalloped potatoes)
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite melty cheese)
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter (for greasing and extra flavor)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon paprika (for a flavor boost)
Instructions:
1. Prepare your slow cooker by greasing it generously with butter to prevent sticking and add rich flavor.
2. Layer the ingredients: Start with half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. Top with half of the chopped onions, then sprinkle half of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, onions, and cheese.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder and paprika for extra seasoning.
4. Pour the creamy mixture evenly over the layered potatoes and cheese in the slow cooker.
5. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
6. Serve warm as a hearty side dish alongside meatloaf, ham, chicken, or any main dish. This is the ultimate slow cooker potato casserole for holidays or any cozy family dinner.
