Boxed scalloped potatoes are a breeze to prepare. However, you do have to monitor your dish of sliced, saucy taters while they're baking to prevent them from overcooking and burning at the edges.

A crockpot's deep capacity can also cook a large batch of scalloped potatoes without the chances of anything spilling over.

You can use a slow cooker for side dishes like glazed carrots, creamy scalloped potatoes, and different types of casseroles.
