Instructions:
Grease and Prepare Your Slow Cooker:
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Whisking the Savory Cream Mixture:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, milk, flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth. This creates the rich sauce for the potatoes.
Layering Potatoes and Cheeses:
Place a layer of thinly sliced potatoes in the slow cooker.
Pour a portion of the cream mixture over the potatoes.
Sprinkle some cheddar cheese and Parmesan over the potatoes.
Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese.
Adding Butter and Paprika:
Dot the top layer with small pieces of unsalted butter.
Sprinkle paprika for a hint of color and smoky flavor.
Slow Cooking Magic Unleashed:
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the potatoes are tender.
Resting for Perfect Flavor Fusion:
Once fully cooked and tender, let the potatoes rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to thicken, and flavors to meld together perfectly.
