Name: Crock-Pot Au Gratin
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 3 h 15 min
Yield: 4 - 6
Ingredients: 4 tbsp. butter; 4 tbsp. flour; 2 1/2 c. whole milk; 1 tsp. garlic powder; kosher salt; Freshly ground black pepper; 1 1/2 c. grated white cheddar; 1 1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan, divided; Cooking spray, for Crock-Pot; 2 lb. Russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2" rounds; 1 tbsp. parsley, finely chopped

Step 1In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and cook 1-2 minutes until no longer raw, whisking frequently. Add whole milk and whisk again. Bring to a simmer and let bubble until thickened slightly, 3-4 minutes. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper and remove from heat. Whisk in cheddar and 1/4 c parmesan and whisk until smooth.

Step 2Spray the bowl of your Crock-Pot with nonstick cooking spray. Add a small spoonful of cheese sauce on the bottom of Crock-Pot bowl. Create your first layer of sliced potatoes, overlapping them slightly, until a completer layer is formed. Spoon over more cheese sauce (about a 1/4 c) and sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons of the remaining parmesan. Continue layering until all potatoes, cheese sauce, and parmesan are used, ending on parmesan.

Step 3Place slow cooker on high and cook until potatoes are tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours, checking halfway to make sure the potatoes aren’t burning. When finished, remove Crock-Pot insert if oven friendly and broil if desired. Garnish with parsley and serve.
