Ingredients

1 cup 2% milk
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
8 ounces Velveeta cheese (room temperature)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon paprika
2 pounds Russet potatoes (with skin – cut into ¼” thick slices)
1 small sweet onion (thinly sliced)

Instructions

Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium low heat until bubbles start to form around the outside at the top of the milk and it starts to steam. Remove from the heat.
Add the cream cheese, Velveeta, garlic, nutmeg, paprika and black pepper and stir until smooth. The milk should be hot enough to melt the cheese.
Spray a slow cooker with cooking spray. Layer ¼ of the potatoes on the bottom of the slow cooker. Add ¼ of the sliced onions, then ¼ of the cheese mixture.
Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Do not leave cooking longer as this recipe will burn.
Serve immediately. Add more milk to refresh leftovers if needed.
