Ingredients
- 3 pounds Russet potatoes peeled and sliced into 1/8” thick slices
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Spray a 6 quart crock pot with non-stick cooking spray.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add the flour and stir until combined. Then whisk in the milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes whisking continuously until the mixture thickens.
- Then remove the saucepan from the heat and then immediately stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Then layer a 1/3 of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the crock pot. Pour approximately 1/3 of the sauce on top of the potatoes. Continue with these layers 2 more times.
- Place a few paper towels on top of the crock pot and then add the lid (this will soak up the extra moisture and make the top of the potatoes crispier).
- Then cook on high for 3-5 hours until the potatoes are tender and cooked through. Remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of the cook time to allow the sauce to thicken.
- Then top with the fresh chopped parsley and the potatoes are ready to serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese so that it melts smoothly and evenly in this recipe.
