Betty Crocker Scalloped Potatoes in a Box Reviewed

Scalloped Potatoes
Scalloped Potatoes are the only potato side dish that I do not make from scratch.  

I decided decades ago that it was not worth my time in the kitchen to peel & thinly chop fresh potatoes when Betty Crocker Scalloped Potatoes were available in a box at the grocery store. 

Anyone who knows me knows that I rarely cut corners when cooking, but my family loves the Betty Crocker scalloped potatoes and they would be the measuring standard used if I did make homemade scalloped potatoes.  That is a challenge I have not been willing to accept!

The boxed scalloped potatoes are easy to prepare and allow me to focus on the main dish.  They simply make meal preparation simpler and I allow myself this break.  I liken the choice to use the boxed scalloped potatoes to opening a can of peas or green beans that I have not had to shell.

There are several varieties available, but I have only tried the basic Betty Crocker Scalloped Potatoes shown below.

make a perfect side dish for your family meal.

The box of scalloped potatoes can be cooked in the microwave, cooked on the stove-top, or baked in the oven.  I always bake mine.  On occasion, I bake them at the same time, in the same oven, as the meat for dinner.  There are baking instructions on the box for several oven temperatures to make baking them at the same time easier.

For the family size box shown on the right, you would need 2 cups water, 1½ cups milk, and 3 Tablespoons butter.

Simply stir the included sauce mix with water, milk & butter together, then add the potatoes and bake uncovered for 32 minutes on 450°F.

If you wish to make the potatoes while roasting meat, you can increase the time and decrease the temperature to the appropriate meat temperature.

  • 325° for 65 minutes
  • 350° for 60 minutes
  • 375° for 55 minutes 

Please refer to the box if you select a different size other than the family size box for specific ingredient measurements.

  1. I have used the Betty Crocker scalloped potatoes in a box for more years than I can remember. It is by far the best, the tastiest, and the most convenient way of having scalloped potatoes with your meal. It is an absolute standard dish with baked ham. I completely agree with your tasty review, Sylvestermouse.

  2. I must try these, I never have good luck making them from scratch and it is a real pain. This sounds much easier. Thanks.

  3. Do you think it is the bio engineered ingredients that make these potatoes so good?

  4. Like you, Ms. Mouse, I prefer to make most things from scratch but have no problem using a boxed mix if equivalent to (or possibly better than) what I could make from scratch and I’m short on time (or just don’t feel like investing the additional time and effort required for scratch-made). It’s good to know that Better Crocker Scalloped Potatoes mixes are crowd-pleasers!

  5. Thank you for this - like you I'll tend to make this from scratch, but it's nice to read a recommend quick way to make it for those days when time is an issue - since you've tried and recommend it, I won't by pass it at the store when I need this

  6. With your endorsement I will definitely try these potatoes. I love scalloped potatoes but like you hate the amount of work that goes into making them. So if these ones pass the Syvlestermouse test, then they will be wonderful for my family too! Thank you so much for giving me an alternative to spending hours in the kitchen!

  7. I do love scalloped potatoes but we do not have them very often, partly due to the work involved! These Betty Crocker Scalloped Potatoes sound like a great alternative. Thank you for your recommendation!
