Why we love this Crockpot Scalloped Potatoes recipe:
So easy: Set it and forget it! This is a Crockpot side dish recipe you can count on to get the job done with very minimal effort on your part. Cheesy: Both parmesan and mozzarella cheeses make each bite better than the last. Feel free to sprinkle in a little extra cheese if you’re craving some! Impressive: Scalloped potatoes are always one of the more impressive potato side dishes. It can be our little secret that it’s actually pretty simple to toss together!
Crockpot Scalloped Potatoes Ingredients:
Potatoes: You can use any kind of potato you like here. However, you should note that Yukon gold potatoes will create the very best texture. If you’d like, you can leave the peels on for a little extra fibre! Cream: Don’t substitute a lighter cream here. Heavy cream can withstand a long cook time and won’t separate. It also makes for a thick and richly flavored sauce. Cheeses: You’ll need both mozzarella and parmesan. For the best flavor and consistency, freshly grate each cheese if possible. Broth: I like to use low sodium broth. That way, I can sprinkle in some extra salt at the end if I want to. Cornstarch: This is used to thick the sauce. Garlic: You can swap this with garlic powder in a pinch. Seasonings: You’ll need a simple medley of parsley, thyme, salt and pepper.

Slice the potatoes and layer them in the Crockpot. Whisk together the cream, broth, cornstarch, garlic and seasonings.
Pour the cream sauce all over the potatoes. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. Cover with both cheeses. Cover with a lid again and continue cooking on high for 1-1.5 hours.
Variations and Substitutions
Use different potatoes: Yukon gold (or creamer potatoes) are hand down my favorite to use. However, you can really swap them with any other you prefer. You can add extra veggies in here: Thinly sliced carrots or mushrooms would be great throw in at the beginning. You could also use broccoli, but it will be very tender if you add it at the beginning of the cook time. Add meat: You can make this a full meal deal by adding chopped, cooked ham, crumbled bacon, or shredded chicken or turkey. Sliced smoked sausages would also be amazing!
How to store Crockpot Scalloped Potatoes
Let the potatoes cool to room temperature, then transfer them to an airtight storage container. Store for up to 4 days in the fridge. Add a splash of broth or water and reheat for 30 seconds at a time in the microwave until warmed all the way through.
Can I freeze Crockpot scalloped potatoes?
Sure thing! Once they’ve fully cooled to room temperature, transfer the scalloped potatoes to a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge prior to reheating. Keep in mind that the texture of potatoes will change after being frozen — if this is a problem for you, I recommend storing leftovers in the refrigerator.
