Love Potatoes au Gratin? Try them in the crock pot for a change. You can be cooking them and forget about them for awhile and still get great tasting potatoes.

Ingredients

• 5 medium-sized potatoes
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste
• 3 T. butter
• 3 T. flour
• 1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
• 1 onion, peeled and sliced
• 1 c. milk
• 1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
• chives, to taste

Steps

1. Scrub and peel potatoes. Slice potatoes into discs, roughly half a centimeter thick. (about two tenths or one fifth of an inch)
2. Line the bottom of the slow cooker pot with the first layer of potato slices, add salt and pepper, to taste. Add the next layer of potato slices, add salt and pepper again. Repeat this process until all potato slices are gone.
3. Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. When butter is melted, whisk in flour until the mixture becomes thick and doughy. Add sliced onions and minced garlic. Keep on whisking and gradually add the milk.
