Ingredients
- 10 medium garlic cloves peeled
- 4 lbs Yukon gold potatoes scrubbed clean and cut into 2-inch pieces
- ¼ cup butter cut into large cubes + more for serving if desired
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary + more for garnish
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ cup water
- ½ –¾ cup half-and-half
- ½ cup sour cream
- Additional salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the garlic in the bottom of a 3 ½-quart (or larger) slow cooker. Top with the potatoes. Dot with butter and sprinkle with the rosemary and salt. Pour the water over the top.
- Cook on high for 3–4 hours or on low for 6–8 hours, or until the potatoes and garlic are very tender.
- Using a potato masher or sturdy fork, mash the potatoes. You may need to remove the lid and let them cool a bit before mashing. Add ½ cup half-and-half and ½ cup sour cream; continue mashing and mixing until the potatoes reach your desired consistency. If they're too stiff, add a little more half-and-half, a tablespoon or two at a time. Taste and, if you like, add additional salt along with some freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Spoon into a bowl and top with a big pat of butter, if desired. Sprinkle with a few pinches of fresh rosemary.
