I would like to point out that this is a recipe easily tweaked for those of us who are lactose intolerant and had thought we said goodbye forever to scalloped potatoes. We can get lactose-free milk and aged cheddar and aged parmesan (0g of sugar) is something many of us can swing. (I’m VERY sensitive to lactose but I’m OK with the old, hard cheeses. Again, look for 0g of sugar to assure you are safe.) Thank you!
This looks really delicious. I’d love to make it for Easter dinner this year. I’m just wonder if it would work to prepare the day before in the crock pot and then cook the day of. Im really short on time as Im working in the morning.
Hi Britta! I actually would not recommend this—transferring the slow cooker insert from the fridge to the base can case it to crack from the temperature change. I have another scalloped potatoes recipe that can be prepped the day ahead—here’s the link if you’re interested! https://www.wellplated.com/homemade-scalloped-potatoes-recipe (I haven’t tried it myself, but you could try a potato mix like in this recipe.)
I made these for Easter Brunch! They were easy and cheesy!! My family loved them. The addition of sweet potatoes were a delicious surprise! #⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I made this dish for Easter and everyone loved it! I didn’t use the sweets but only because of family member preference. Also, I had 12 people, so I doubled it, stirring gently a couple of times. These were way better than any I’ve made in the oven and the convenience of being able to do the prep ahead of time and using the oven for other dishes while the slow cooker did the work were just icing on the cake! Thank you for a great recipe!
Can you make scalloped potatoes from signature scalloped potatoes in a crock pots? They require an oven but that is not for me. Can I use a crock pot somehow instead? hww35@hotmail.com
I am planning to cook this recipe for Scalloped Potatoes.
I have a question about the nonfat. Are you talking about the powdered nonfat milk or are you talking about skim milk? Can whole milk be used in place of the nonfat milk?
Wish me luck… I am cooking your Crockpot Wild Rice Stuffing with Cranberries, Crock pot honey carrots, and slow cooker scalloped potatoes. I know you should never try new things out for a holiday meal but…
Hi Jan! The recipe is referencing regular nonfat milk, but you can use whole milk if you prefer. I hope you enjoy all the recipes you try! It sounds like a delicious menu!
Delicious and creamy. These potatoes were easy to assemble. Mine were cooked on high in 2 hours. They were perfect. Thanks for this recipe. I will be making these again.
I made this for Xmas dinner my husband is very picky and does not like gravy’s or heavy sauces ! He actually loved this potatoes where so creamy and delicious .. be making this again for sure
I made this tonight and served it with my homemade ginger glazed gammon and spiced peaches. This scalloped potatoe recipe is a game changer! I was sceptic about how it would turn out but it was divine! I’ll definitely be making this again. It was delicious!
Annette, I can’t recommend that because I think the potatoes would come out quite bland and not creamy. You might enjoy these Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes, which would be good with non-dairy butter.
Hi Emilie! Totally explained this in the blog post under tips! Place a layer of paper towels under the lid. The towel will absorb excess moisture. Hope this helps!
I’m looking forward to making this for Christmas dinner! I’m wondering, can I make just the sauce ahead of time and then re heat prior to adding to the crockpot?
Hi Rita! I’ve only tested this recipe as written but I will say, you probably could make it ahead of time. You will have to work on the sauce some before pouring it over the potatoes the next day. The sauce refrigerated will get thick and may separate some so you would have to put it back in the pan and kind of fix it before you use it. Honestly I think it would take more time to do that then just make the sauce the same day you cook it. Hope this helps!
These are my family’s favourite scallops! Thanks so much for the recipe:)
Am I able to cook these in the oven instead of a crockpot? I would love to try it because cleaning the crockpot after can be a pain.
Made these for a pilot potluck. OMG. Delicious! I was suspect about the mix of Yukon gold and sweet potatoes. Stop worrying – they were the hit of the party! People said “I never thought of putting the two together!” Well neither did I. Erin did! Good work.
Fail. Bland, floury tasting, soupy, and still curdled even with the paper towel tip. Can’t honestly say mixing in sweet potatoes added anything to the flavor. I’ll stick to good old-fashioned Betty Crocker oven baked recipe I’ve been using for 40 years without complaints. Just thought I’d try something different…meh.
I’m sorry to hear you had problems with the recipe, Kim. Myself (and others) have tried it with great success, so I wish it would of been a success for you.

Great tips Laurie! Thank you so much!
Hi Erin, would this recipe be enough for 6 adults?
Hi Chris, my estimate is that the recipe serves 6 to 8 as a side. I hope you enjoy it!

Hi Sharlie, this recipe does use a slow cooker to make the scalloped potatoes. I hope you enjoy it if you give it a try!

Can you substitute the milk for almond milk?
Hi Mandy! I haven’t tried it myself, but I think it would work fine. If you decide to try it, I’d love to hear how it goes!
Delicious and creamy. These potatoes were easy to assemble. Mine were cooked on high in 2 hours. They were perfect. Thanks for this recipe. I will be making these again.

Can you eliminate the cheese and use non-dairy milk in this recipe?
Annette, I can’t recommend that because I think the potatoes would come out quite bland and not creamy. You might enjoy these Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes, which would be good with non-dairy butter.
Wonderful recipe and so easy to follow. Thanks.
Hi Mark! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
I tried this for thanksgiving this year and it was a hit! Flavorful and something different! I loved the color that the sweet potatoes added.
Hi Jessica! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Why a towel over the crock pot lid I never heard of this? Please explain thank you you

Hi Karley! I have an oven baked version, here you go: https://www.wellplated.com/homemade-scalloped-potatoes-recipe/
Karley, have you tried crockpot liners? They are Wonderful! Makes cleanup a breeze.
Great tip!
