How to Make Scalloped Potatoes in a Crock Pot

Scalloped potatoes make an excellent side dish.

Scalloped potatoes are traditionally baked in the oven. The dish combines sliced potatoes with cheese and a variety of other ingredients to thicken and enhance the flavor. Cooking scalloped potatoes in the crock pot involves less prep time, and you can start cooking them earlier in the day so you have less to do at dinner time. Serve scalloped potatoes as a side dish, or add diced ham or sausage to the mix to make it a main course.
