Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 8 slices Bacon
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Chopped green onions
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Spray the inside of your slow cooker generously with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick, and set aside.
Step 3
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Step 4
Slice the butter into small pats and set aside.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Step 6
Layer one-third of the potato slices evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker.
Step 7
Sprinkle one-third of the seasoning mixture, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese over the potato layer. Add a few pats of butter as well.
Step 8
Repeat the layering process two more times, finishing with a top layer of cheese.
Step 9
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 4 hours or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 10
Once cooked, sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top for garnish.
Step 11
Serve warm and enjoy!
