Ingredients
  

3 lbs russet potatoes, thinly sliced

2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup whole milk

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and slice the russet potatoes into thin rounds using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Rinse them in cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

    Make the Creamy Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, minced garlic, thyme, paprika, and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper.

      Layer in the Crockpot: Grease the inside of your crockpot with a bit of butter or cooking spray. Start by placing a single layer of sliced potatoes on the bottom. Sprinkle a portion of the chopped onion and a handful of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Pour a portion of the creamy sauce over the top.

        Repeat Layers: Continue layering the ingredients (potatoes, onion, cheese, and sauce) until all the potatoes are used up and the pot is full. Finish with a final layer of cheese and a drizzle of any remaining creamy sauce.

          Add Butter: Dot the top with small pieces of unsalted butter for added richness.

            Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cooking on high is also possible, requiring about 3-4 hours.

              Serve: Once cooked, give the potatoes a gentle stir, being careful not to break them apart too much. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.

                Enjoy! Serve your delicious cheesy scalloped potatoes as a comforting side dish at any meal!
