Follow The Directions

01

Step

Gather all your ingredients and have them prepped and ready to go. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Generously coat the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Create layers of thinly sliced potatoes in the slow cooker, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper. Repeat until all potatoes are used. (15 minutes)

04

Step

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is bubbling and smooth, about 1-2 minutes. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Slowly pour in the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 5-10 minutes. (7 minutes)

06

Step

Stir in the minced garlic and remove the saucepan from the heat. (1 minute)

07

Step

Add the shredded Cheddar cheese to the sauce and stir until completely melted and smooth. If needed, briefly return to low heat, being careful not to scorch the cheese. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the layered potatoes in the slow cooker. Gently shake the slow cooker to allow the sauce to penetrate all the way to the bottom, but avoid stirring to maintain distinct potato layers. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Cook on Low for 8 hours or on High for 4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and fully cooked. (240 - 480 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using a blend of Cheddar and Gruyere cheese.
Add a pinch of nutmeg to the cheese sauce for a warm, aromatic touch.
If the sauce becomes too thick during cooking, add a splash of milk to thin it out.
To prevent the potatoes from browning, submerge the sliced potatoes in cold water until ready to layer in slow cooker.
Gently shake the slow cooker after 2 hours, this will help make sure the cheese sauce reaches the bottom of the slow cooker.
