  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Before You Begin:
  2. Prepare your slow cooker and ingredients as needed. Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker and ingredient thickness.
  3. Prepare Potatoes
  4. Slice potatoes evenly to about ⅛–¼ inch thick for even cooking. Pat slices dry with paper towels.
  5. Prepare Cooker

  9. Layer
  10. Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom. Add a layer of potatoes, then sauce. Repeat layers, finishing with sauce on top.
  11. Cook
  12. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours, or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork in the center.
  13. Optional Finish
  14. For extra cheese topping, sprinkle additional cheddar during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  15. Serve
  16. Serve warm directly from the slow cooker.
