Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 cups, diced Cooked ham
- 2 cups, shredded Sharp cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) Fresh parsley
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning while preparing the other ingredients.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Whisk in the flour, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture turns light golden.
Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, making sure there are no lumps. Stir occasionally until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, onion powder, and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
Grease the inside of a crock pot with nonstick cooking spray. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Layer 1/3 of the potato slices on the bottom of the crock pot. Top with 1/3 of the diced ham, then pour 1/3 of the cheese sauce over the top. Repeat this layering process two more times, finishing with the cheese sauce.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the top layer.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly.
Once cooked, turn off the crock pot and let the dish cool slightly for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Crock Pot Ham Scalloped Potatoes!
