| Thinly sliced potatoes | 4 cups (about 6 medium spuds) |
| Onion, thinly sliced | 1 |
| Cooked ham, diced | 1 1/2 cups |
| Shredded cheddar cheese | 1 cup |
| Cream of mushroom soup | 1 can (10 3/4 oz) |
| Milk | 1/2 cup |
| Sour cream | 1/2 cup |
| Garlic powder | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Paprika | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Salt | To taste |
| Pepper | To taste |
| Butter (for greasing) | As needed |
| Fresh parsley, chopped (garnish) | As needed |
Instructions:
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Start by greasing your slow cooker with a bit of butter to prevent sticking.
- Layer the Ingredients: Begin by layering half of the sliced potatoes, half of the thinly sliced onions, and half of the diced ham in the slow cooker.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the layered ingredients in the slow cooker.
- Repeat the Layers: Repeat the layering process with the remaining sliced potatoes, onions, and ham.
- Mix the Creamy Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
- Pour Mixture Over Layers: Evenly pour the creamy mixture over the layers of potatoes, onions, and ham in the slow cooker.
- Cooking Time: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. This allows the potatoes to become tender and the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Final Cheese Layer: In the last few minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the dish and allow it to melt.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley to add a touch of freshness. Enjoy your delicious Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes with Ham!
