Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Ham

  • 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, sliced thin
  • 2 cups cooked ham, cubed
  • 1 cup yellow onion, diced

Sauce and Seasoning

  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of celery soup
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 3 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Cheese

  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a large bowl, combine the cream of celery soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, diced onion, minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, dried thyme, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a smooth cheesy sauce.
  2. Layer the ingredients: Spray the bottom of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Evenly spread half of the thinly sliced potatoes over the bottom of the cooker. Top this with half of the cubed ham. Then pour half of the cheese sauce evenly over the ham and potatoes. Repeat these layers one more time with the remaining potatoes, ham, and cheese sauce, ensuring even distribution.
  3. Slow cook the dish: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on high for 5 to 6 hours. This slow cooking process allows the potatoes to become tender and absorb the flavors of the sauce and ham, while the cheese melts into a creamy texture.
  4. Add remaining cheese: Approximately 10 minutes before the cooking time ends, sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the scalloped potatoes. Cover again and allow the cheese to melt completely, forming a deliciously cheesy crust on top.
  5. Serve and garnish: Once the cheese has melted, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy this warm, hearty slow cooker meal with family or friends for an easy and satisfying dinner.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline to slice potatoes evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
  • Distribute layers evenly for balanced flavor and texture throughout the dish.
  • Spray your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Choose Yukon gold potatoes instead of russets as they hold their shape better during slow cooking.
  • If the cheese sauce seems too thick, add a splash of milk or cream to adjust the consistency.
