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.

Follow The Directions
01
StepGather all your ingredients and have them prepped and ready to go. (5 minutes)
02
StepGenerously coat the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. (2 minutes)
03
StepCreate 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
StepIn 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
StepSlowly pour in the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 5-10 minutes. (7 minutes)
06
StepStir in the minced garlic and remove the saucepan from the heat. (1 minute)
07
StepAdd 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
StepPour 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
StepCook on Low for 8 hours or on High for 4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and fully cooked. (240 - 480 minutes)
