Ingredients
Scale:
4 large russet potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly
2 medium yellow onions, sliced
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded cheese (optional, cheddar or your choice)
Instructions
Grease the interior of your slow cooker with a bit of cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
Begin by layering half of the sliced potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker. Top this layer with half of the sliced onions.
Sprinkle half of the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the first layer.
Add the remaining potato slices, followed by the rest of the onions. Season again with the remaining garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter and heavy cream until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the layers in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker and set it to low. Cook for 6 to 8 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and creamy.
If you’re using cheese, sprinkle it over the top during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Cover and let it melt.
