    How to Store and Reheat

    Your leftover scalloped potatoes can be stored in the fridge in a sealed container for up to two days. To reheat these potatoes, microwave them for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for one additional minute. Keep in mind that microwave temperatures vary. If they need to be a little warmer, add on time in 30-second increments.

    You can also freeze these slow cooker scalloped potatoes! Once they have completely cooled, transfer them into a freezer-safe, air-tight container. They will last in the freezer for up to 6 weeks. When you are ready to eat them, thaw them completely in the fridge, then heat as directed above.

    Popular Substitutions and Additions

    These Potatoes pair well with just about any entree. A few of my favorites are Slow Cooker Ham with Pineapple & Brown Sugar, Homemade Salisbury Steak with Mushrooms and Gravy, and One Pan Chicken and Vegetables. All of these have flavors that pair very well with these potatoes.

    For dessert after a hearty dinner of meat and potatoes, opt for something lighter, like these Copycat Dirt Cake Crumbl Cookie (Soft Chocolate Cake Cookie) or this No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Bars.

    FAQs

    Can I line my slow cooker?

    Sure! I always line my slow cooker and spray the liner with non-stick cooking spray. This makes cleanup much easier.

    Can I use other types of potatoes?

    Yes, you can use other types of potatoes, but I’ve found that the Yukon gold potatoes cook and soften really well in the slow cooker.

    Can I use another variation of cream soup?

    Sure. If you do not like cream of mushroom, you can use cream of chicken or cream of celery in its place.

    How will I know that my potatoes are completely cooked?

    When they are bubbling on top, and the cheese has melted, they should be ready to enjoy. If you want to double-check, stick a fork into the potatoes to make sure that they are soft enough to eat.

    Notes

    • I recommend using a mandolin slicer to keep the potatoes the same size. This will help ensure that the layers are cooked evenly.
    • I recommend not using pre-shredded cheese to make these extra cheesy.
    • For best results I highly recommend cooking on high so the potatoes don't get mushy.
