Ingredients
  

Potato Layers
  • 4 large large potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold, thinly sliced) Use starchy potatoes for the best texture.
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (Cheddar, Gruyere, or your favorite blend) Feel free to mix different cheeses.
Optional Flavor Additions
  • 1 small onion (finely diced) Optional for added flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced) Optional for an extra kick.
  • to taste Salt and pepper
Other
  • Butter Butter (for greasing the slow cooker)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Lightly grease the slow cooker with butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Start with a layer of potato slices at the bottom, followed by a sprinkle of cheese, diced onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used—aim for at least three layers.
  3. In a bowl, combine heavy cream and milk, then pour over the layered potatoes.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly.
  2. Once cooked, let it sit for about 10 minutes before serving to thicken the sauce slightly.
Serving
  1. Dish up portions and enjoy the creamy goodness!
