A cheesy scalloped potato recipe is just about the best way to make the most of a spud. A slow cooker turns the velvety side dish into a set it, forget it affair.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  over 5 hrs

ingredients

5 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced or cubed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

directions

Grease the inside of the crock pot. Add the potatoes.

Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir well to combine. Slowly whisk in the milk and continue to stir until no lumps remain. Heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and is thickened.

Stir the cheese into the milk mixture and cook, stirring, over medium heat until the cheese melts and the mixture is smooth. Pour over the potatoes in the crock pot. Stir gently.

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours or until the potatoes are tender. Serve hot. Adjust the seasoning as needed at serving time.


crock pot notes

Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.

recipe tips


For best results, do not use pre-shredded cheese

Pre-shredded cheese is convenient but it contains starch so the shreds won't stick together. This inhibits it from melting smoothly. For this recipe, use freshly shredded cheese so the sauce is smooth and creamy, not clumpy.
