Slow Cooker Potatoes and Ham Recipe

This is a great recipe for a get together or a party. This recipe makes enough for 4 to 6, depending on how hungry everyone is. You can easily double this slow cooker potatoes and ham recipe for more people.

I used a Ninja 3-in-1 Cooking System to make this recipe. I like that with the Ninja I can select the cooking time. I let this recipe cook for 4 hours. This would be the same as cooking on high for 4 hours in a regular crockpot.

If you need it to cook longer I recommend slicing the potatoes a little thicker so it doesn’t end up mushy. I used a chef knife to slice my potatoes and onions, but a mandolin would have made the job so much easier.

Layer the potatoes, onions, and ham. I used both red potatoes and a sweet potato. I layered the sweet potato in the center with the red potatoes on the top and bottom.

I sprinkled a bit of flour over each layer to absorb some of the moisture.

I used about four ounces of cream cheese in this dish. On two different layers I added the cream cheese. It didn’t spread like I thought it would, but it was still delicious.

When the potatoes and ham recipe was about 30 minutes from being done I removed the lid and sprinkled it with the shredded cheddar cheese. I left the lid off until I served it.

NOTE: If you are lactose intolerant or sensitive you can leave off the cheese and use lactaid milk instead. It won’t change the flavor.
