Info and tips for crockpot scalloped potatoes

For this recipe it’s important to make sure your potatoes slices are all the same thinness to ensure they cook evenly. I recommend cutting them as thin as possible to decrease the amount of time it takes for them to become tender. You can use a mandolin if desired, but a sharp kitchen knife works just as well!

I also like to make the sauce before adding it to the crockpot. Some recipes will have you throw everything in, which is totally fine! But for max flavour and consistency I recommend making the sauce first. This way you can taste as you go and ensure the cheese doesn’t split. One tip I have for the cheese sauce is to over salt it. Potatoes are very plain and need a lot of salt to bring out their flavour. They will absorb the extra salt, leaving you with perfectly seasoned scalloped potatoes.

Equipment

I use the Crock-Pot 6 Quart Programable Slow Cooker for this recipe.

Ingredients for crockpot scalloped potatoes

• ¼ salted butter

Instructions

1. Begin by mincing your garlic, shredding your cheese, and thinly slicing your potatoes. The potatoes should be about a 1/4 inch thick or smaller.

3. Next, layer the sauce and potatoes in your Crock-Pot, adding the last cup of cheese on top. Cook on high for 4 hours until potatoes are tender. 
4. Garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes if desired and enjoy!
