Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes and Ham

I love when my grandma cooks for us. It always tastes good! She gave us this wonderful recipe for Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes and Ham years ago and I am always in the mood for it.  This recipe has become a family favorite….it never lets me down.  Doesn’t it look like great comfort food?

Easy Scalloped Potatoes

We call this our “shortcut” scalloped potatoes recipe. Instead of using a homemade white cream sauce, we use cream of chicken soup to form a deliciously easy gravy. If you’d like a homemade white sauce for these scalloped potatoes, see this recipe.

What Does Cream of Tartar Do in This Recipe?

Many have asked if it was necessary to toss the cream of tartar with the potatoes. I’ll admit I’ve skipped this step, but the cream of tartar helps to prevent the potatoes from turning brown. You end up with a prettier final dinner presentation with the cream of tartar.

Leftover Ham Recipes

This is a great way to use up ham…although we buy ham specifically for this recipe. It makes a large amount so it is great for company, too! Need just a small amount? You can easily halve this recipe.

What to Serve with Scalloped Potatoes

This dinner is fantastic with our popular Buttery Soft Rolls. You’ll love using these rolls to soak up the creamy gravy of this recipe. Serve alongside steamed vegetables or a side salad for an easy, complete dinner.
