Slow Cooker Swiss Chive Scalloped Potatoes
Slow Cooker Swiss Chive Scalloped Potatoes are a unique and delicious twist on traditional scalloped potatoes made entirely in the slow cooker.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds baking potatoes, sliced Russets or Yukon Golds.
- ½ cup onion finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt divided. You'll use 1/2 teaspoon for the potatoes and 1/2 teaspoon for the sauce.
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons butter sliced
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- ½ cup shredded Swiss cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives or dried chives.
Instructions
- Layer half of the onions, half of the potato slices, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg and 2 tablespoons of butter in the slow cooker. Repeat with another layer.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours or until the potatoes are tender.
- Remove the potatoes from the slow cooker with a large spoon or spatula and place them in a serving bowl. Cover with foil so they stay warm while you prepare the cheese sauce.
- Add the milk, cream cheese, shredded Swiss cheese, shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the slow cooker and replace the lid. Set on high until throughly melted. Be sure to stir occasionally. Once the sauce is thoroughly combined add the chives and stir.
- Pour the cheese mixture over the potatoes and serve. To keep this dish warm until you're ready to serve, put it back into the slow cooker and cover. Set the slow cooker on the low or warm setting.
