Making scalloped potatoes in the slow cooker is a great holiday meal cheat. Using the slow cooker frees up oven space and starting it in the morning frees up time. Potatoes are thinly sliced and placed in a slow cooker. A cheesy sauce is cooked on the stove top and poured over the potatoes. Then you turn on the slow cooker and let the potatoes cook until tender.
I used russet potatoes because that was what I had on hand. Different cheese besides cheddar can be used; I used half mozzarella and half cheddar. You can also more seasoning; I added onion powder and garlic powder, ¼ tsp each, when adding the salt and pepper to the sauce mixture. The ham and corn can be omitted, to make it regular scalloped potatoes (honestly, I have never tried this recipe with the corn and ham, I always make it as regular scalloped potatoes.)
