Notes
How can I reheat this dish?
To reheat your crockpot scalloped potatoes, you can add them to a casserole dish and cook them in the oven at 300°F for 20-30 minutes. If you’re only looking to reheat an individual portion, you can microwave a single serving for 1 ½ - 2 minutes or place a pan over medium heat and cook for 4-5 minutes.
Can I make this ahead of time and freeze it?
You could make this ahead of time and freeze it, but the texture of the potatoes and the cheese sauce will change slightly. Scalloped potatoes will keep well in the freezer for up to 3 weeks. Here are a few tips for freezing.
- Make sure to cook your potatoes until just barely tender.
- Allow the dish to cool completely before transferring to the freezer.
- Before you reheat your potatoes, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator.
