I love those dump-and-go types of recipes, especially for busy weeknights. Next to my Instant Pot, I love using my slow cooker for these types of recipes. If you like scalloped potatoes and ham then you are sure to love this cheesy version.

This potato au gratin recipe is the perfect way to use up leftover ham from the holidays. It seems like this was the only time we had cheesy scalloped potatoes growing up.

Crockpot Au Gratin Potatoes Ingredients

All the ingredients needs to make the recipe for au gratin potatoes with ham.

To help make the creamy sauce that is on the au gratin potatoes creamy we use cream of chicken soup along with three types of cheeses. I used parmesan, Monterey Jack, and sharp cheddar cheese. You could change up the cheese to create a slightly different flavor to the crock pot scalloped potatoes.

Onions and garlic bring more flavor to this cheesy crockpot scalloped potatoes recipe.

For the potatoes, I used russet potatoes. They seem to hold the perfect sliced shape when cooked. You could use Yukon gold potatoes or even red potatoes, the cooking time may need to be adjusted since these types of potatoes cook faster.

Ham~ To make this a complete meal we added in diced ham. The ham can easily be left out and this delicious recipe would make the perfect side dish.

Dump all the ingredients into the bottom of the slow cooker and cook for 5-6 hours. The cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker, each crockpot cooks differently. This is a great recipe that makes for a great main dish recipe for those busy nights.

About Crockpot Ham And Potato Casserole

A potato being sliced on a cutting board.

Slicing the potatoes about ⅛ of an inch thick helps for an even cook for this slow cooker recipe. If you have a mandoline or a food processor that would make slicing the potatoes so much easier. The potatoes I used are russet but Yukons will work as well.

Normally I like to slow cook this recipe on low for 5-6 hours. I have cooked it on high for 4 hours. That's where those potato slices being the same thickness really came into play.

The thicker sliced potatoes were slightly undercooked, unlike the thinner sliced ones were cooked all the way. I do recommend cooking this recipe on low for 5-6 hours that way the potatoes have time to fully cook.

All the ingredients for ham and au gratin potatoes in a slow cooker.

I'm all about making clean-up easier so I like to spray the inner pot of my crock pot with non stick cooking spray. There are crockpot liners that you can buy at the store. I have seen these silicon crock pot liners on Amazon, the only ones I have seen fit a 7 to 8-quart slow cooker.

As I cut the potatoes, ham, onion, and minced garlic I add these into the inner pot of the slow cooker. In a small bowl, I mix together the cream of chicken soup and milk.

Next, pour the soup mixture over the ingredients that are in the slow cooker. Stir everything together making sure that the soup mixture covers everything.

Now would be the time to salt and black pepper to your liking. Then mix in the three types of cheese. Place the lid on the slow cooker and set it to low for 5 or 6 hours.

My slow cooker only has a 6-hour cook time so that is what I normally do.
