WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AU GRATIN AND SCALLOPED POTATOES?

The biggest difference between the two types of potato recipes is that the au gratin potatoes are sliced thinner than scalloped potatoes.

There is usually more cheese involved when making au gratin potatoes. I happen to LOVE potatoes cooked almost any way!

STEP FOUR: SLOW COOK

Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high heat for about 4 hours. This is a perfect recipe to get ready and then start cooking around noon for an evening meal.

When the crock pot scalloped potatoes are done cooking, remove the lid and sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of the potatoes. Replace lid and allow the cheese to melt. It will take 5-10 minutes.

Garnish the potatoes with fresh parsley, if desired and serve hot!

Be sure to refrigerate any leftovers.
