Ingredients
Potatoes
2 ½ lbs potatoes, thinly sliced
Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes work best
Cream Sauce
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups milk (whole milk preferred)
1 cup heavy cream
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Best Potatoes to Use
Choosing the right potato matters.
Yukon Gold Potatoes
These hold their shape well and have a buttery flavor. Great for creamy potato dishes.
Russet Potatoes
These become softer and soak up sauce nicely. Perfect if you want extra tender layers.
Honestly, both work great. Use what you have.
How to Make Crockpot Scalloped Potatoes
This recipe is simple and perfect for beginners.
Step 1: Slice the Potatoes
Wash and peel potatoes if desired.
Slice them thinly and evenly. About ⅛ inch thick works best. A mandoline slicer helps, but a sharp knife works too.
Try to keep slices even so they cook at the same rate.
Step 2: Make the Cream Sauce
In a skillet or saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute while stirring.
Slowly pour in milk and heavy cream. Keep whisking until smooth.
Cook until cheese melts and sauce thickens slightly.
Step 3: Layer in the Crockpot
Grease the inside of your slow cooker.
Add one layer of sliced potatoes.
Pour some sauce over the top.
Repeat layers until everything is used, ending with sauce on top.
Spread evenly.
Step 4: Slow Cook
Cover and cook:
Low for 6 to 7 hours, or
High for 3 to 4 hours
Potatoes should be fork tender when done.
Step 5: Rest Before Serving
Turn off the heat and let the potatoes sit uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes.
This helps the sauce thicken and settle.
Trust me, it’s worth the wait.
