In a Cuisinart
®
3¾-quart saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold water; add 1 tea-
spoon salt. Cook over medium-high heat until tender, drain well and place in large
mixing bowl.
While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the onions for topping. Melt butter in a
12-inch Cuisinart
®
skillet. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until reduced and
very lightly browned. Season with remaining salt and pepper. Transfer to large mix
-
ing bowl.
Beat potatoes with a Cuisinart
®
Hand Mixer, starting on low speed. Add sour
cream, cream cheese and minced garlic. Turn mixer to medium high; beat until
smooth and slightly fluffy. Cut a piece of aluminum foil about 24 inches long. Fold
in half lengthwise, then fold in half again two more times to create a strip about 24
inches in length and 2 inches wide to make a “cradle”; reserve. Spray the bottom
and sides of a 2-quart soufflé dish with cooking spray. Fill with potato mixture. Top
with onions. Set the dish in the center of the long strip of folded foil and bring up
the sides to meet, twisting them together to form a handle. To place the covered
soufflé dish on the rack, use the foil cradle to help lift the dish, and carefully lower
the dish into the pot and place on the rack.
Cover and press the on/off button to turn the unit on. Set time to 5 hours and
press Low. Slow cooker will automatically switch to Warm when cooking time has
elapsed. Potatoes will be puffed and onions browned. Remove the soufflé dish from
the slow cooker using the foil strips to lift it.
