Creamy Scalloped Potatoes

What an easy way to make this dish and it tastes delicious. Even my finiky daughter thought it was great even with "those onions". I had sweet purple ones. I thinly sliced my potatoes and onions with a food processor, so it only took about 90 minutes on high to be almost done. Then, I added chopped chives and cheddar and american cheese to the top and put it on low for another hour. Only problem was a very brown crockpot bottom, even though I greased it with Crisco vegetable shortening.
