Indulge in the creamy, cheesy goodness of Slow Cooker Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes, a perfect comfort food that takes minimal effort to make. This delightful dish is ideal for family gatherings or potlucks, allowing you to enjoy rich flavors without monopolizing your oven space.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes (peeled and cut into 1/8-inch thick slices)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream, minced garlic, dried thyme, and nutmeg over medium heat until heated through. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add a layer of sliced potatoes into your slow cooker in an overlapping pattern. Season them lightly with kosher salt and black pepper. Pour 1/3 cup of the warm cream mixture over the potatoes and sprinkle with some Gruyere cheese. Repeat this layering process until all potato slices are used.
  3. Cover your slow cooker and set it to high heat. Cook for about 4-5 hours or until the potatoes are tender when tested with a fork. Afterward, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan on top, cover again, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until melted.
  4. Once cooked, remove the lid from your slow cooker and allow the cheesy scalloped potatoes to rest for about 15 minutes. This resting period will help thicken the sauce as it cools slightly.
  5. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves if desired before serving this delicious dish hot.
