Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 3 lbs Yukon gold potatoes (about 6, sliced 1/8″ thick)
  • 1 onion (thinly sliced)

Dairy & Cheese

  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 8 oz white cheddar cheese (grated)

Dry & Seasonings

  • 3 Tbsp heaping cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp prepared yellow mustard
  • 2 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp black pepper

Others

  • Oil or cooking spray (for greasing crock pot)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crock Pot: Grease the inside of your crock pot with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Layer Ingredients: Begin by layering one-third of the sliced onions, potatoes, and grated cheese. Repeat this layering process two more times, ending with a final layer of potatoes and cheese on top.
  3. Make the Sauce: In a large measuring cup, whisk together the whole milk, cornstarch, prepared yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour the Sauce: Carefully pour the milk mixture evenly over the layered potatoes, onions, and cheese in the crock pot, ensuring all layers are covered.
  5. Cook: Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce is golden and bubbly.
  6. Rest Before Serving: Once cooked, unplug the crock pot and allow the scalloped potatoes to rest for 20 minutes to thicken the sauce and set the dish.

Notes

  • For a crispy top, transfer cooked potatoes to oven-safe ramekins and bake at 425°F for 30-35 minutes.
  • Do not skip the mustard; it adds a subtle tanginess enhancing the flavor.
  • Cooking time may vary depending on crock pot model; check tenderness after 3 hours.
  • If cooking on low, cook for approximately 6-7 hours until potatoes are tender.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free when using cornstarch.
