Description
Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes are a true comfort food classic that’s perfect for any occasion. This easy-to-prepare dish features tender slices of Yukon Gold or Red potatoes, smothered in a rich and creamy cheese sauce, and cooked to perfection in the convenience of your slow cooker.
Ingredients
- 3 pound Yukon Gold or Red potatoes
- 1 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 10 1/2 ounce condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 large onion
Instructions
1. Start by melting the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and cook until slightly softened, about 4-5 minutes.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, condensed cream of chicken soup, heavy cream, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture until it’s well combined and the cheese is evenly distributed.
3. Grease the slow cooker with non-stick spray. Place half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker, seasoning each layer with a pinch of salt. Add all the sautéed onions on top of the potatoes, then pour half of the cheese sauce over the onions.
4. Add the remaining potato slices on top, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and pour the remaining cheese sauce over the top. Finally, pour the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream evenly over the entire dish.
5. Cover and cook the Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 5-6 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the sauce is bubbly.
6. Once the cooking is complete, allow the dish to rest with the lid off for about 15 minutes. This will help the sauce thicken up to the perfect consistency.
7. Garnish the Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve as a comforting side dish for any meal.
Notes
Slice the potatoes evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
Avoid overcrowding the slow cooker to allow for proper steam circulation.
If the sauce seems too loose, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
Pair the Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
