Ingredients
- 5 lbs potatoes*
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup butter divided
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2-1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the potatoes into 2 inch pieces. Place in a 6 quart slow cooker.
- Pour the chicken broth over the top. Cube 1/4 cup of the butter, and drop the cubes over the top. Sprinkle the garlic over the top, then place the lid on the slow cooker.
- Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or low for 6-8 hours, stirring every 1-2 hours to make sure the potatoes cook evenly.
- When the potatoes are very tender, remove the lid. Add the sour cream and the remaining 1/4 cup of butter. Add 1/2 cup of the milk. Mash the potatoes until as smooth as desired, adding more milk if needed. Season generously with salt and pepper, adding as much as needed to taste.
- The potatoes can be served right away, or left on the warm setting until ready to serve.

Notes
- Yukon gold potatoes will cook faster than russet potatoes. I prefer removing the skin, but if desired, you can leave the skin on if using Yukon gold potatoes.
