Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Layer half of the sliced potatoes evenly on the bottom of the crock pot.
Spread half of the sautéed onions, half of the frozen peas, and one can of drained tuna over the potato layer.
Pour half of the soup mixture over the top, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the layer.
Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, onions, peas, and tuna. Pour the rest of the soup mixture over the second layer.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Once cooked, let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes to allow it to set before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your comforting Crock Pot Tuna Potato Casserole!
