Ingredients
- 5 lbs red potatoes or russet potatoes, skin-on and washed and cut into large even-sized cubes
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cube chicken bouillon dissolved in 1 tsp water
- 8 oz whole cream cheese melted in microwave or stovetop
- ½ cup salted butter melted (plus more as needed)
- 2 ½ cups chicken broth more if needed
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 5 slices Bacon cooked and crumbled
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese for garnish or more
- 2-3 scallions thinly sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large heavy pot of well salted water to a boil. Cook potatoes approx. 12-15 minutes or until fork-tender but not mushy. Drain and transfer potatoes for a large bowl. Use a potato masher to mash potatoes together with garlic, dissolved bouillon, melted cream cheese, and melted butter. Mash and add 2 cups of chicken broth until incorporated. Add more broth and keep mashing as needed to achieve desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper as needed. At this point, potatoes can be covered and chilled overnight if you're prepping ahead.
- Transfer potatoes to a slow cooker. Cover and cook for 2 hours on low, stirring occasionally. Turn cooker to warm setting, and keep warm until ready to serve. Serve garnished with bacon, cheddar cheese, and scallions.
