Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 large Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). Use a mandoline slicer for even slices if available.

Step 2

Peel and finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute, stirring to prevent burning.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour into the saucepan and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream while whisking to ensure a smooth mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the cheddar cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add the salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Remove the saucepan from heat.

Step 7

Spray the inside of a crock pot with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 8

Layer one-third of the potato slices in the bottom of the crock pot, overlapping them slightly. Pour one-third of the cheese sauce over the potatoes, spreading it evenly. Repeat this process for two more layers, ending with the cheese sauce on top.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the final layer of sauce.

Step 10

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 11

Once cooked, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot as a side dish.
