Crockpot Scalloped Potatoes With Cheese
Crockpot scalloped potatoes are an excellent alternative when the oven is filled with other dishes. For an oven-baked look, add extra cheese and brown them under the broiler just before serving.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes, red-skinned or Yukon Gold
- 4 tbsp butter, plus more for greasing the crock pot
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ⅛ tsp freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh chopped chives or parsley (optional), for garnish

- Combine 4 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour, salt, and pepper to the butter. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

- Pour the cheese sauce over the potatoes in the slow cooker.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for about 5 hours, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir once or twice during cooking if possible.
- Transfer the potatoes and sauce to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped parsley or chives. Alternatively, for a more oven-baked look, transfer the potatoes to a buttered, broiler-safe baking dish, sprinkle with extra shredded cheddar (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup, or to taste), and broil for 2 to 4 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned. Watch closely, as broilers vary.Fresh chopped chives or parsley (optional)
If the sauce seems thin at the end, cook uncovered for the last 20–30 minutes.
