This is probably a really dumb question but I have to ask because I don’t know lol.. Do you line the slow cooker with baking paper for this recipe or just pop it all in?

Great tasting potato bake, so simple but yet amazing, I used thickened cream with 2 teaspoons of cornflour so it didnβt split, and added a teaspoon of garlic, definitely will make it again.

Made this in the oven as I didn’t have time to wait for my slow cooker to do it’s thing π
Subbed natural yoghurt for the sour cream, used half sweet potato and white spuds, oh and halved the cheese…
It was tangy and delicious and everyone loved it!
Will definitely try it in my slow cooker next time π

So long as it was still a dry soup powder mix you could definitely change them up no worries π

I wouldn’t double the french onion soup due to saltiness risk. Also increase the time but another 2hrs at least I think but that may vary in your cooker so just keep an eye on it π

I am in the UK and can never find the French onion soup mix. Anyone know where or an alternative? Thanks

Does anyone know if low as opposed to high makes a difference?
I did this recipe ( it’s my usual conventional oven one) in the slow cooker with cream not sour cream and cooked for about 7 hours on low and it was like it was just sitting in 3 inches of grease
Tried and true in the conventional oven though

This looks wonderful, I make a potato bake in the oven using cream of chicken soup. However am going to have a go in the slow cooker now but still using cream of chicken instead of the french onion (not really a fan of this flavour). Hope it looks as good.

If you can fit triple into one cooker then sure you could … but it would definitely need a longer cooking time

I’m having a big BBQ and was going to make a few potato bakes for the oven before seeing this which looks much easier and yum! Would I be able to triple the batch and do you think it would still cook the same?

Wow, this was so easy and simple to make and tasted so delicious. Definitely going to make it this way from now on. So much less mess than the usual way in the oven, especially with my non stick slow cooker π

I am so lazy I don’t even scallop the potatoes & I use bacon bits from Coles/Woolies. I cut the potatoes into chunks. I also often use some chicken diced into the mix…still tastes great

I don’t use a tea towel when I make this but that was how the recipe was submitted by it’s creator π
Ann Capell

Maybe the teatowel soaks up the extra condensation so that the drips don’t land on the cheese??

I was so excited to try this slow cooker scalloped potato recipe! I used my food processor to finely skice the potatoes and I diced the onions which I fried with the bacon. I also added some cream because I had it in the fridge and added extra potatoes so we would hand leftovers.
I must say it looked amazing and we were really happy with the texture/consistency. However the French onion soup flavor was too overpowering for us. I would make this again but with a clove of garlic instead of French onion soup.

Omg. Made this tonight and it is amazing. I was worried the sour cream would split. But it didnt. I have always made potato bake in oven with normal cream. Never going back to that way of cooking again

Yes tea towel under the lid why?

I used to make potato bake in the oven and it would always be such a process that put me off from making it that often. I am never making it in the oven again.
I just switched off my slowcoker and couldn’t wait to comment how easy it is to make it in the slowcooker, EVERY SINGLE TIME!
My take on this recipe is that I don’t put in the bacon but add garlic to it – Divine! And the tea towel trick – genious!
