Ingredients

  • 3 pounds russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash OR peel your potatoes.  Slice to 1/8" thick, set aside.  (I like to leave the peel on my potatoes)
  2. Generously coat slow cooker with non-stick spray.  
  3. In a medium saucepan melt the butter over medium-low heat.  Add flour and whisk to combine.  Whisk in the milk, garlic powder, pepper, and a generous amount of salt.  (I use at least a teaspoon.)  Cook stirring frequently just until it starts to thicken.  Remove from heat and stir in cheeses. 
  4. Place 1/3 of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker.  Sprinkle with 1/3 of the chopped onion.  Pour 1/3 of the cheese sauce over the potatoes and onions.  Repeat this 2 more times.  Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 4-6 hours or until potatoes are tender.  Let sit 20 minutes before serving. 

Notes

  • Do not keep this on the warm setting.  
  • The sauce will thicken as it cools.
