Crock Pot Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Description
This recipe involves slow cooking five pounds of whole potatoes with their skins and six whole garlic cloves submerged in chicken broth within a crock pot until fork tender over several hours. The cooked potatoes and garlic are then mashed with sour cream, butter, salt, pepper, and oregano, blending richness with savory herb notes. Milk is stirred in at the end to achieve the desired creamy texture while maintaining some body from the skins.
The garlic becomes mellow and soft through prolonged cooking, imparting gentle flavor without sharpness. These mashed potatoes are well suited to accompany hearty meals such as roasts or poultry. The addition of fresh chopped parsley adds color and a hint of freshness at serving.
