Crock Pot Scalloped Potatoes

So, I love potatoes. In any and all forms. French fries, scalloped, baked, mashed, you name it. I made some scalloped potatoes for Christmas dinner, and they were a big hit. But they take a long time to cook, and I needed a recipe that could cook all day while I was out, which I could then take to a dinner that evening. I found a recipe for crock pot scalloped potatoes, made a few modifications, and it turned out pretty delicious.

Crock Pot Scalloped Potatoes (serves 4)

3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup skim milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheese (I used a mix of cheddar and parmesan)
5 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

Butter your crock pot, place potatoes inside. Combine butter, flour, salt, and pepper in a saucepan over medium low heat, whisk in milk and cream until smooth. Heat and stir until it is thick and bubbly, then stir in cheese until melted. Pour sauce over potatoes in crock pot, cook on low 5-7 hours.
