Scalloped Potatoes-4-Ingredient Sunday Slow Cooker. Placed it the day before Sunday morning service and went home to the smoothest potatoes I ever had…
Servings: 6
Ingredients
-
3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and sliced really thin (approximately 1/8 inch)
-
2 cups heavy cream
-
2 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, half
-
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and additional salt to taste
Scalloped Potatoes: Instructions
1. Preparation of Slow Cooker
-
Put a little butter or cooking spray in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker to coat it.
-
This assists in browning the edges and eases the clean-up process.
2. Season the Cream
-
Whisk the cream and kosher salt in a medium bowl or large measuring cup until dissolved.
-
This seasoned cream will sink into the potatoes and turn into a luxuriously smooth sauce.
3. Add the Layers of Potatoes
-
Place a layer of sliced Yukon Gold potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker.
-
Arrange in a thin, even layer with overlapping slices resembling shingles.
-
Ensure layers are mostly solid so the sauce circulates around the potatoes.
4. Add Cream and Cheese
-
Drizzle the seasoned cream lightly over the first layer of potatoes.
-
Sprinkle approximately a third of the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
5. Repeat the Layers
-
Continue adding layers of potatoes, cream, and cheese until all potatoes are used.
-
Press down gently on the layers to keep them tight.
-
Spread any leftover cream evenly on top to drip between layers.
6. Add Remaining Cheese
-
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly on top.
-
This top layer will melt, bubble, and turn golden along the edges.
7. Slow Cook
-
Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
-
Bake on LOW for 5–6 hours or until potatoes are tender and cream has thickened.
-
Do not open the lid during the first few hours to maintain heat.
8. Bake Before Serving
-
Once cooked, set the slow cooker on WARM and let potatoes rest, covered, for 15–20 minutes.
-
This allows the creamy sauce to settle between layers and portions to solidify.
9. Serve Crock
-
Place the slow cooker on the table and serve hot.
-
Scrape down through the cheesy, golden top to reach the creamy layers beneath.
-
Sprinkle extra salt on your food at the table if you want.
