How To Make Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes:
Step 1: Grease and Prepare Your Slow Cooker:
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2: Whisking the Savory Cream Mixture:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder until smooth. This creates the rich sauce for the potatoes.
Step 3: Layering Potatoes and Cheeses:
Place a layer of thinly sliced potatoes in the slow cooker.
Pour a portion of the cream mixture over the potatoes.
Sprinkle some cheddar cheese and Parmesan over the potatoes.
Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of cheese.
Step 4: Adding Butter and Paprika:
Dot the top cheese layer with small pieces of 1 tablespoon unsalted butter. Sprinkle the 1/4 teaspoon paprika for a hint of color and smoky flavor.
Step 5: Slow Cooking Magic Unleashed:
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours until the potatoes are completely tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 6: Resting for Perfect Flavor Fusion:
Once fully cooked, let the potatoes rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to thicken and flavors to meld together perfectly.
