The potatoes took almost five hours to get to the point where they weren't still crunchy, and by then the cream cheese had dried to a sort of film all over everything. It tasted fabulous when I stirred it at the two-hour mark, so I know this was probably really good. I'm going to try it again, but I'll par-boil the potatoes before I put them in the crock pot next time. If it works out better, I'll review again.

    Very nice. We used 3 cloves of garlic because we really like it, but it did come out a bit strong. Nice creamy texture with a good taste!

    Outstanding recipe, Mirj. The potatoes were very tender. I used green onions with the tops (I like the green part). These babies were euphoric, soothing, creamy. Easy to prepare and easier to cook in the crockpot. This one goes in the t&t cookbook for my house.

    I couldn't help it.... I added 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese into the layers of potato and cream cheese. Served with crispy crumbled bacon and more sliced green onion and this was like a loaded Maine baked potato meets comforting, cheesy, creamy potato gratin! Absolutely wonderful and so easy with the slow cooker. Thanks so much for this great recipe.
