Crockpot Cream Cheese Potatoes

2 Tbs minced or chopped dried onion
2 cloves garlic, minced OR 1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
Pepper to taste
8 medium potatoes, scrubbed, sliced
1 package cream cheese, cubed

Lightly grease crockpot. In small bowl, combine onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Layer 1/4 of sliced potatoes in bottom of crockpot. Sprinkle with 1/4 seasonings. Layer with 1/3 cream cheese cubes. Continue layering process, ending with layer of potatoes then sprinkle with seasonings. Cover and cook on high 3 to 4 hours. In last hour of cooking, stir potatoes to distribute cream cheese. Serve when potatoes are tender. Serves 4 to 6. Note: Potatoes can be slightly mashed before serving.

Time saving tips: Cook potatoes in boiling water for about 30 minutes or until tender then cut into strips. Mixture should be cooked on low 6 to 8 hours or on high 2 hours or until potatoes are tender. You could also substitute 32 oz. frozen hashbrowns for potatoes and prepare as directed. Cook on low 4 to 6 hours or on high 2 hours.
