Crock Pot Scalloped Potatoes with Ham
Description
Crock Pot Scalloped Potatoes with Ham uses medium-sized sliced potatoes layered with onions, ham, and cheddar cheese. The addition of a cream of mushroom soup mixture enriched with milk and seasoned with thyme and black pepper adds depth and moisture. Cooking on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours lets the potatoes soften and absorb the flavors thoroughly while the cheese melts throughout. The dish results in tender potatoes with a creamy, savory profile and a pleasant herbaceous note from the thyme.
The layered approach allows each component — potatoes, onion, ham, cheese — to contribute texture and flavor, creating a cohesive casserole that can serve as a main or side. This recipe works well for family meals or holiday dinners like Easter, especially when paired with simple green vegetables or fresh bread.
For best texture, starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold are recommended; leaving some skin on Yukon Golds can add nutrients and texture. Vegetarian variations can substitute ham with mushrooms, carrots, or extra potatoes. The slow cooker method gives flexibility to prepare the dish in advance and keep it warm until serving.
Ingredients
- 8 potato medium-sized
- 1 onion diced
- 2 cups ham cubed, cooked
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese
- 10.25 ounces cream of mushroom soup homemade recipe
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme or more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper or to taste, ground
Instructions
- Peel and slice potatoes, and tossed with a few pinches of salt. In a slow cooker, layer half of the potatoes, onion, ham, and cheese.
- Repeat layer.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together soup, milk, thyme, and fresh ground pepper. Pour over potato layers.
- Cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours, or on LOW for 6-8 hours.
Notes
- Use starchy potatoes such as Russet or Yukon Gold for the ideal texture, optionally leaving some skin on Yukon Golds for added nutrients and texture.
- If preferring a vegetarian version or using this as a side dish, replace the ham with mushrooms, carrots, or additional potatoes.
- Layer the ingredients evenly in the slow cooker and pour the soup mixture on top to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
