Ingredients
- 3½ pounds potatoes cleaned and cut into cubes, such as Yukon gold, russets, or red skin
- 1 cup chicken broth low sodium or no sodium added
- 1 cup milk I used 2%
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon pepper or to taste
- 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated, 3 ounces
- 2 tablespoons chives chopped
Instructions
- Add the cubed potatoes to your slow cooker. Add the chicken broth, milk, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir everything together.
- Cover with the lid and cook on high for 3½ to 4 hours. The potatoes should be fork tender when done.
- Add the butter to the potatoes and mash using a potato masher. Alternatively you can use a mixer to mix them until smooth, depends on what kind of consistency or texture you're going for.
- Stir in the sour cream and Parmesan cheese. Taste for salt and pepper and adjust as necessary.
- Garnish with chives and serve hot.

Notes
- I used Yukon gold potatoes, but red skin potatoes or russet potatoes would work as well.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To freeze mashed potatoes, transfer them to a large freezer bag or air tight container, and store in freezer for up to 2 months.
