Ingredients

  • 5 pounds potatoes red, yellow or white
  • ¾ cup chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese optional
  • warm milk or cream to taste
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel the potatoes and cut into 1-inch chunks.
  2. In the bottom of a 4-quart slow cooker, add the potatoes, broth, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours or until fork tender. Each hour or so, very quickly stir the potatoes.
  4. Once tender, use a hand masher or hand mixer to mash the potatoes until smooth. 
  5. Stir in the butter, sour cream, parsley, and cream cheese if using. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Add warmed milk or cream to reach the desired consistency if needed. 
  6. Serve or keep on warm until serving.

Notes

  • Slow cookers can vary, cook the potatoes until they are fork tender. If the potatoes are done early they can be mashed and left on warm for serving.
  • Leftover mashed potatoes can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven, on the stovetop, in the slow cooker, or in the microwave. Leftovers might need a bit more milk and butter stirred in.
