Ingredients Needed
- Yukon Gold Potatoes: This kind of potato balances waxy and starchy and gets nice and tender in the slow cooker without falling apart.
- Whole Milk: Helps form the base for your cheesy sauce.
- Chicken Stock: Chicken broth adds lots of flavor and prevents your sauce from getting too thick
- Cornstarch: Gives the sauce a rich and creamy quality.
- Seasonings: Add salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and garlic for flavor.
- Cheese: You’ll need two different kinds of shredded cheese (Mozzarella and white cheddar) as well as Parmesan cheese.
- Parsley: For garnish.
How to Make Crockpot Scalloped Potatoes
- Step 1: Use a mandoline or sharp knife to cut the potatoes into even slices.
- Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine milk, chicken stock, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic, and thyme.
- Step 3: Add the potatoes to the slow cooker in as even a layer as possible, then pour the milk mixture over the potatoes. Cover and cook for 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low.
- Step 4: Give the mixture a stir, then top with mozzarella and white cheddar. Return lid to crockpot and cook on high for another hour. Garnish with Parmesan, parsley, and additional salt and pepper to taste.
Recipe Tips
- For the best quality, shred your own cheeses. Pre-shredded cheese often has a coating on it that prevents sticking, but makes it harder to melt.
- If you want to add other cheeses or try different varieties in your crock pot scalloped potatoes, go for provolone, gruyere, or Swiss cheese.
- The milk mixture may not fully cover the raw potatoes, but as they cook, they’ll sink into the liquid.
- For an even creamier sauce, use heavy whipping cream in place of some of the milk.
