Step 3: Mix the Creamy Sauce
In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream, sour cream, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir well until fully blended. Pour this mixture evenly over the potatoes, ensuring each piece is coated. Add the chopped onion and garlic on top, then dot with butter pieces.
Step 4: Slow-Cook to Perfection
Cover the crockpot and set it to low heat for 6–7 hours or high heat for 3–4 hours. The slow cooking process allows the potatoes to become tender while soaking up all the creamy, buttery goodness. Avoid lifting the lid too often, as it can increase cooking time.
Step 5: Optional Cheese Boost
About 30 minutes before the potatoes are done, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Replace the lid and allow it to melt and slightly brown, adding an extra layer of richness to the dish.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Once the potatoes are tender and fully cooked, give them a gentle stir to incorporate the melted butter and cheese. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a fresh, vibrant touch. Serve warm as a side dish alongside roasted meats, grilled chicken, or even a hearty casserole.
