Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes
Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes layer thinly sliced russet potatoes with a seasoned cream mixture and a blend of Gruyere and cheddar cheeses. Cooked low and slow, the dish becomes tender and rich, developing a creamy texture. Topped with Parmesan and fresh herbs, this recipe offers a hands-off way to prepare a comforting side dish with delicate herb notes and a mellow nutmeg hint.
