Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Potatoes (Yukon Gold or Red)
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Rosemary (chopped)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1.5 cups Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Peel if desired and cut into 1-inch cubes.
Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with butter.
Add the diced potatoes to the crock pot.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then stir in the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the butter and garlic herb mixture over the potatoes in the crock pot. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
Pour the heavy cream over the potatoes. Gently stir to combine.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours or LOW for 6 to 8 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
Once the potatoes are tender, sprinkle the cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. Cover again and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese has melted.
Stir the melted cheese into the potatoes if desired or leave it as a cheesy top layer.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own!
