Description

A comforting and cheesy crock pot scalloped potatoes recipe featuring thinly sliced russet potatoes simmered in a rich garlic-infused cream sauce with cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, cooked low and slow for tender, flavorful results perfect for a hearty side dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 3 pounds russet potatoes (about 3-4 potatoes, depending on size)

Sauce

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (can use salted)
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Cheeses

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Garnish (optional)

  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Slice the potatoes: Cut the 3 pounds of russet potatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices using a knife or a mandolin slicer. Set these slices aside for layering.
  2. Prepare the sauce: In a small pot over low heat, combine 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 5 minced garlic cloves. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Stir occasionally until butter is fully melted and mixture is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat. This step can also be done in the microwave by heating carefully without boiling.
  3. Layer the ingredients in the crock pot: Add one-third of the sliced potatoes to the bottom of the crock pot. Pour one-half cup of the prepared sauce over the potatoes, then sprinkle one-third of the shredded cheddar cheese and shredded Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
  4. Repeat layers: Repeat the layering process two more times—potatoes, sauce, then cheeses—so all ingredients are used up.
  5. Cook: Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, or on low for 5 to 6 hours, until the potatoes are tender and fork easily passes through.
  6. Optional garnish and serve: Once cooked, sprinkle 1 teaspoon dried parsley over the top if desired, then serve immediately while hot and cheesy.

Notes

  • Use a mandolin slicer for consistent thin potato slices.
  • Do not let the cream sauce boil to prevent curdling.
  • Crock pot cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker model.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • The recipe yields creamy, cheesy potatoes perfect as a side dish for meats or holiday meals.
