Creamy Red Potatoes
This rich and creamy potato side dish is my go-to for potlucks. It’s super easy to double, so I usually do. Folks almost always take seconds, and I almost always get compliments. —Shelia Schmitt, Topeka, Kansas

My family liked this recipe. I always ask them to give me a rating between one and ten. The average rating was a seven. The eight hour slow cooker time surprised me, but the potatoes were good and tender. It was nice to have a major part of our meal taken care of in the morning. We especially liked the thick gravy. I'd make it again.
This was ok. I will not make it again.
I made these to take to my mom's Thanksgiving dinner and they were a huge hit!! They were so easy to put together and I loved how you cook them in the crock pot . I could let them cook while I went to my in laws Thanksgiving dinner.the only thing the cook time was off. I feel like the potatoes needed to be on little cubes not quartered.
Cream cheese in the slow cooker has never turned out good in my opinion, but I tried this recipe anyway. I was right, you must stir frequently so it doesn't turn all yellow/brown and yucky looking. It needed something more than what was in the recipe, I added a little salt, but that didn't make it better. Don't waste the cream cheese, etc., to make these potatoes.
The 1st time I made this dish was for Thanksgiving potluck at church. I was looking for something easy and I had most ingrediants on hand. They were a big hit. I have since made them several times. The only thing I did different was to add a soup can of water.
These were very good. I added about a 1/2 cup of water and some garlic salt. We will be making this again!
Made these for easter and had to give tell everyone how I made them.. They got rave reviews.. would make them again. .. I also had tons left over and they made a great base for potato soup.. yummy
I think it needs salt. There's only 1455 mgs of sodium in the recipe. LOL
This recipe would win over any crowd. I am always asked for the recipe when I take it to a gathering. For a change, I have added a clove of garlic and used cream of chicken soup. I would also suggest adding a can of water to keep it from getting too dry.
I think this is great as a meal, with ham chunks and frozen peas added to it. Add jello or fruit for dessert.
