Instructions

- Put the potatoes in the slow cooker, along with garlic and chicken broth.
- Put the lid on and cook the potatoes on low for 3-4 hours until soft and tender.
- Add the butter, milk, salt, and pepper to the crockpot. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or hand mixer until they are the desired consistency.
- Taste the potatoes and adjust the seasoning to taste. If they are too thick, add a little more milk.

Notes
- Try to cut your potatoes into roughly equal-sized chunks. This will help them cook more evenly, resulting in a smoother, creamier mash.
- Don't overwork the potatoes. Overworking the potatoes can cause them to become gluey and unappetizing. Stop mashing as soon as they reach your desired consistency. I prefer a hand potato masher instead of a mixer because it is too easy to overwork them with a mixer, especially a stand mixer.
