SLOW COOKER CHEESY SCALLOPED POTATOES

In an ideal world, we would all have double ovens in our kitchen for the holidays. Because cooking 8 different dishes that require 4 varying oven temps would be near impossible without any of the food getting cold. That’s why your slow cooker becomes another type of “oven” for you. An even better oven, really. Because now, you don’t have to babysit what’s in it the entire time. Like with these scalloped potatoes. All you have to do is layer your potatoes between the homemade cream sauce and Gruyere cheese.

It’s potatoes layered with cheese! This crockpot version of scalloped potatoes is so EASY, creamy, tender and cheesy! And it frees up your oven space!
