The Difference Between Scalloped Potatoes and Au Gratin Potatoes
Why is there so much confusion about Scalloped Potatoes versus Au Gratin Potatoes? Well, they are very similar. So, we are calling our dish cheesy crockpot scalloped potatoes, and let me explain why we can do that. We are basically combining the best parts of both dishes.
A traditional scalloped potato dish consists of thinly sliced potatoes layered in a casserole dish and baked with heavy cream and lots of herbs. A traditional Au Gratin Potato dish, on the other hand, has grated cheese sprinkled between the layers, resulting in a cheesy, more decadent dish. In both dishes, the potatoes are cut into rounds, but the potatoes used in scalloped potatoes are often cut a bit thicker than those used in au gratin potatoes.
Crockpot Scalloped Potatoes
Crockpot meals are my favorite. I just love the idea that I can set it in the pan in the morning and then walk away and continue my day. Most days, by the time 5:00 rolls around, the last thing you want to do is prepare a meal. I keep a couple crockpots front and center. Yes, you could prepare this scalloped potato recipe in the oven, without the crockpot. Here is a great oven baked scalloped potatoes recipe. There is something just so amazing about walking into your house and having most of the work done already though. So, if that is what you are after, this recipe will fit the bill!
Crockpot Scalloped Potatoes pair with just about any savory main dish too. We like to make it with Browned Butter Pork Chops or Magic Meatloaf.
How To Store Scalloped Potatoes
To store scalloped potatoes, first, let the potatoes cool to room temperature. Next, store the potatoes in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat the potatoes in the oven or microwave.

Made these tonight for Christmas dinner. YUUUMMMMMYYYY! Didn’t use rosemary; sliced an onion and put them in the 2 layers instead. Also layered in ha slices. Much better than plain scalloped potatoes. Adding this to my recipe app!
Hello!
I am going to try your recipe (looks great) as I need the convenience of the crock pot. Have you ever added onions to this recipe?
Sounds like they r gonna awesome, I hope they fly over for Christmas meal
Delicious potatoes. Very easy. Used a mandoline to cut the potatoes and a white cheddar. Didn’t have rosemary so used an Italian herb blend. Highly recommend!!
