Description
A comforting layered dish of tender potatoes, melted cheese, and rich cream, perfectly cooked in a slow cooker for a creamy and flavorful side.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter (for greasing)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them thinly, about 1/8-inch thick. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
- Grease the slow cooker with butter. Layer half of the sliced potatoes at the bottom, followed by half of the cheddar cheese, and then half of the chopped onion and garlic.
- Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients.
- In a bowl, combine heavy cream and milk, whisking until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the layered ingredients.
- Season generously with salt and pepper. Cover the slow cooker and set to low. Cook for about 6-8 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Once cooking is complete, let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Scoop out portions and serve warm.
Notes
- Cheddar is traditional, but mix in other cheeses for variety.
- Can substitute heavy cream with non-dairy options for a vegan version.
- Use lactose-free or plant milk if desired.
