Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

• 5–6 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work best)
• 2 large onions
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella recommended)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional but adds great flavor)
• Cooking spray or extra butter for greasing

Step-by-Step Method

1. Prepare the Ingredients

Start by peeling the potatoes and slicing them into thin, even rounds—about 3–4 mm thick. This ensures they cook evenly.

Peel the onions and slice them into thin rings or half-moons. Mince the garlic finely.

2. Grease the Slow Cooker

Lightly coat the inside of your slow cooker with butter or cooking spray. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.

3. Create the First Layer

Place a layer of sliced potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker. Slightly overlap them like shingles.

Add a layer of onions on top, then sprinkle:

• A pinch of salt
• Black pepper
• A bit of garlic
• A small amount of cheese

Dot with a few small pieces of butter.
