Hi Everyone,
If you’re a Crockpot fan you will love today’s #SundaySupper, it’s all Crockpot / slow cooked recipes. I am always looking for new recipes to make in my Crockpot. Nothing beats coming home from a long day of work and having dinner or in my case a side dish waiting for you. For my recipe I have made one of my Husbands favorite side dishes which is Scalloped Potatoes.
I have to admit I am not a scalloped potatoes person, but after today’s recipe I changed my mind. These potatoes are cheesy melt in your mouth good. I never realized that scalloped potatoes can be mighty delish. This recipe is well worth the time to make.
To make the recipe I used 4lbs of potatoes, which is about 6 large potatoes. I made enough to feed an army, ok, well enough to feed my Husband and to have leftovers for lunch. I carefully sliced them very thin, but you could totally use a mandolin if you have one. I was too lazy to find mine so I just sliced them myself. In between each layer of potatoes I cut thin slices of onion to give some extra flavor. For the sauce I made a simple cheese sauce which is made with butter, flour, non-fat milk and just a small amount of cream. My mission was to make the creamiest potatoes ever. Mission accomplished! Just layer the potatoes and onions in the Crcokpot, pour over the cheese sauce and let it bake for about 4 hours on high and about 6 hours on low.
- 6 (4 lbs.)large potatoes, peeled, thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, peeled,thinly sliced
- 4 tbsp. butter
- ¼ cup + 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- ⅛ tsp. pepper
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tbsp. heavy whipping cream (optional)
- 1⅓ cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- Spray Crockpot with cooking spray;
- Layer crockpot with potatoes than onions. Keep doing this until you no more remain.
- In a large pot; add butter, flour, salt and pepper. Over medium, low heat, stir until butter is melted. Gradually whisk in milk and cream until no lumps remain. While stirring, cook until bubbly and thickened. Stir in cheese to melt. About 10 minutes.
- Pour cheese sauce over. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 5 to 7 hours.
I served up my Scalloped Potatoes with smoked ham. This is one of those meals my Husband craves periodically and I never make it for him. Well maybe that will change? I do love these potatoes and the ham wasn’t to bad either.
Make sure you check out the #SundaySupper Crockpot recipes. I can’t wait to see what I can make next.
Have a great Sunday!
Toodles,
Jennifer

This is such a terrific recipe for the upcoming holidays! My family would swoon for your yummy potatoes, Jennifer!
Thank you Liz! I have to admit I was really impressed with these potatoes.
These look so cheesy, creamy, and delicious! I am such a big potato person, and these would be great at the holidays!
They would be perfect for the holidays, plus cooking them in the Crockpot will save you oven space! 🙂
I could make a meal of this all by itself. Then again, it sure does look mighty tasty with ham.
Thank you Renee! 🙂
I’d love to make this for Thanksgiving but don’t know what size crock pot. Do you have a recommendation? What size did you use?
Hi Jen,
I think I used a 7 qt. Crockpot. I checked out the sizes on Crockpots website, and I have the one that is middle in size. Hope this helps.
I’ve been looking for a good recipe like this that doesn’t come out runny, but…. My sauce came out super thick, like a Greek yogurt consistency, so it didn’t run down into the potatoes when I poured it on…..is it going to run down as it cooks do you think?
Hi Paula,
The thickness should lightened up when you cook it. If you feel it is to thick, add a pinch of milk to it. Let me know how it turns out for you. 🙂
Your potatoes look so creamy and wonderful, thank you for sharing this great recipe!!
Thank you so much Tara!
This is the kind of meal my hubby likes too, and I hardly ever make it either. But I may have to make this! I love scallops potatoes and really like the fact you didn’t add much heavy cream. Great recipe Jennifer!
Thank you Susan! I actually think the recipe would be ok without the cream, but I felt the need to add it so I could be extra creamy. I was in the total mood of creamy cheesy goodness.
I love scalloped potatoes! What a great idea to make them in the crockpot!
The creamiest potatoes ever- sign me up! Love your recipie!
Your husband is not the only person happy that you made these potatoes! They have my name written all over them!
I love scalloped potatoes! This would be great for Thanksgiving while the oven is occupied by turkey.
Oh yummmm =) Onions, potatoes, cheese and heavy cream? You don’t need to convince me! Great recipe, Jennifer!
This sounds so easy and would be a great side dish for the holidays! It’s always nice to free up the stove top during a busy holiday dinner by using the slow cooker!
These potatoes are on my must make soon list!
Can this be prepared as directed and cooked in the oven?
Hi Judy,
I haven’t done that, but I don’t see why not. I would cook them at 375 degrees for probably 45 min to an hour, until fork tender. Make sure you spray your cooking dish with cooking spray. Let me know how it turns out. Happy Holidays!
I made these last night and they were delicious! I had some steamed broccoli that i mashed up and mixed in with the leftover potatoes. So good! Thank you for the recipe!
Do you think I could make this without the cheese? Maybe use more heavy cream instead? I love cheese, but i have family members that say true scalloped potatoes don’t have cheese in them!
I think you maybe ok with out the cheese. Just keep an eye on it when your cooking it. I think it would be delish!
Your family is correct. Scalloped potatoes do not include cheese. The addition of cheese actually makes them potatoes au gratin.
Ha ha I found that out after. My Mom added cheese and called them Scalloped Potatoes, so I always thought that is what Scalloped Potatoes were. Thank you for clarifying.
Just got in the crock pot and looking forward for Ham and scallop potatoes tonight for dinner. Have had a crock pot most of my adult life and never used much. Starting to use more and more as it is such a convenience to get it started and forget it. Plus during the summer no heating up the kitchen. I did omit the cream but it is more my regular oven scallops potatoes. Thanks for a good go to recipe.
Jennifer. Way to be get creative! Absolutely delicious. My wife doesn’t like onions, so I omitted these and added 8 ounces of cream cheese. Wow, good! Thank you for sharing.
Looks great. What size crock pot did you use?
Looks great. What size crock pot?
I microwaved the potatoes 5 minutes then peeled and sliced. Made it so much easier to slice them thin and will probably cut the cook time 30 mins or so. We will see.. lol
That’s a great idea. I’ll have to try that.
also added crumpled bacn to each layer
Ohhhhhh, I bet it tastes good with bacon. I love that!!
Question regarding the type of potatoes? Russet?
Hi Kelly, Yes I used Rustic Potatoes. Thank you for asking. 🙂
This recipe was a winner with my family (6 children under age 8) tonight. Thank you!
I am so glad. This is one of my family favorite too. My Husband can eat just about the whole batch! Happy 4th of July to you!
Any idea how long to cook them if you double or triple the recipe? I have a big family dinner at the holidays and would need tp do more then recipe males.
Also could you prepare the night before?
I wanted to inform you that you have people like me who appreciate your work. Definitely a great post. I would like to read this
