If there’s a potato method I’m a sucker for, it’s definitely this one.
– For a lighter version, replace heavy cream with half-and-half or a mix of milk and a tablespoon of flour to maintain creaminess.
– Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese; a mix of cheddar and Gruyère adds a wonderful depth of flavor.
– Adding a layer of cooked, crumbled bacon between the potato layers infuses the dish with a smoky richness that’s hard to beat.
– For those who love a hint of spice, a diced jalapeño or a dash of cayenne pepper can be added to the cream mixture for an extra kick.
– To prevent the potatoes from discoloring, keep them submerged in cold water after slicing until ready to layer in the slow cooker, just be sure to drain them well.
