📖 Variations

  • Add more flavor to your sauce by mixing in a teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • Cream of mushroom soup or cream of chicken soup can be used in place of the cream of celery soup.
  • Make this into a cheesy potato recipe by using cheddar cheese soup instead of the cream of celery soup or adding grated cheese to each layer.
  • Add some spice to this crock pot scalloped potatoes and ham recipe by sprinkling in crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
  • Instead of evaporated milk you can use regular milk, but the evaporated milk really does add a rich texture to this casserole.
  • Change the flavor of this dish by using different cheeses, like pepper jack, mozzarella or your favorite cheese.

💭 Tips

Expert Tip: If you use thin skinned red potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes you don't have to peel them. Just wash well and slice thinly.

  • Try to keep your potato slices as even as possible so that they cook at the same time.
  • Make slicing the potatoes easy by using a mandolin if you have one.
  • Be sure to spray your crock pot with nonstick cooking spray for easy clean up.
  • This is one of my favorite leftover ham recipes, and is a great way to use up ham slices from a holiday meal.
  • Cooking time can vary based on your slow cooker, make sure the potatoes are tender before serving.
  • If you are using a knife to cut your potatoes make sure that it very sharp so that you can get even slices.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese from a block instead of pre-shredded so that the cheese melts well.

👩‍🍳 FAQs

Can you put raw potatoes in a slow cooker?

Yes, you can put raw potatoes in a slow cooker. They cook slowly and turn out perfectly tender.

Do I have to peel potatoes for slow cooker?

It depends on the type of potatoes that you use. If you are using a potato with a thin skin like red or Yukon gold potatoes, then you don't need to peel. However, if you are using a thick skin potato like Idaho or russets you will want to peel them.

What is the difference between au gratin and scalloped potatoes?

Scalloped potatoes are made with a white sauce that is cream based. Au gratin potatoes have a cheese sauce and often have ham or bacon pieces in them.
