Growing up on a farm we ate and still eat a lot of potatoes. Some of our favorite potato recipes are Twice Baked Potato Casserole, Crock Pot Loaded Red Potatoes, Easy Creamy Mashed Potatoes and Farmhouse Loaded Potatoes.
My mom has sliced hundreds of pounds of potatoes into thin scalloped potatoes. She typically bakes scalloped potatoes in a casserole dish in the oven. I love this recipe from my husband’s family that makes potatoes in the slow cooker.
Most of our days working on the farm are pretty busy. We have a lot of moving parts in our schedules that often have to fit together on the fly. When working on the farm you never know exactly what time a task will get finished which means someone will need a ride to pick up a tractor or get to a new field. You also can’t predict when something will break and someone might have to make an impromptu parts run to the local NAPA store.
Since life on the farm is so hard to plan we LOVE crock pot potatoes. The slow cooker can be turned down if I have to leave the house and have no idea when I’ll return. In our testing, I’ve always made this recipe on high to make sure it gets done quickly, but then use the keep warm setting until my farmer is ready to eat.
Tips for Making Fiesta Scalloped Potatoes in the Slow Cooker
- This recipe can be made with any can of undiluted soup – if you like mushrooms use cream of mushroom
- For extra cheesy potatoes add a few slices of American cheese on top once the potatoes are tender
- Ensure potatoes slices are similar thickness so that they cook evenly
- I like Yukon Gold potatoes because no peeling is required, but I always wash any variety of potatoes
- Slow cooker liners make clean up much easier
We hope you enjoy these potatoes as much as our family does!
