Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 4 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes (peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 8 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • cream or milk
  • optional chopped chives for garnish

Instruction

  • Place potatoes in the slow cooker and pour chicken broth over. You can also use just water as long as you use enough water to cover. Add 2 tablespoons of butter on top and the salt. Cook for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low until potatoes are tender.
  • Carefully drain the liquid out. Add the butter, cream cheese, sour cream, and garlic. Using a masher or electric mixer, smash potatoes until potato mixture is nice and creamy. Add cream or milk as needed to get the required consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste. Keep potatoes on the warm setting until ready to serve. Top with chives if desired.
