Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 3 lb. russet potatoes, peeled and sliced approximately 1/4″ thick
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 2 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, chicken broth, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to blend all the flavors.
  2. Prepare the slow cooker: Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the potatoes from sticking during cooking.
  3. Layer the potatoes and cheese: Place one-third of the sliced potatoes in an even layer at the bottom of the crock pot. Pour one-third of the cream mixture evenly over the potatoes. Sprinkle one-third of the shredded cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese on top of that layer.
  4. Repeat layering: Repeat the layering process two more times with the remaining potatoes, cream mixture, cheddar, and parmesan, creating three distinct layers in total.
  5. Cook the potatoes: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Garnish and serve: Once cooked, optionally sprinkle fresh parsley on top for color and freshness. Serve the scalloped potatoes immediately as a delicious, creamy side dish.

Notes

  • Make this easy Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes recipe and never buy the store-bought packaged scalloped potatoes again—these homemade potatoes are both superior in flavor and texture.
  • Slicing the potatoes uniformly to about 1/4 inch thickness ensures even cooking.
  • Use fresh cheeses for best melting and flavor.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
