Time 8h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/8 pound garlic (about 10 cloves, separated from the bulb and peeled)
2 pounds red potatoes (scrubbed clean and cut into 2-inch pieces)
2 tablespoons butter + more for serving as desired
1/2 teaspoon salt + additional salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup water or vegetable broth
1/4 cup half-and-half plus more as desired
Equipment
Two-quart or larger Crock Pot

Steps:

  • Place garlic in the Crock Pot, then add potatoes. Top with butter, sprinkle on the salt, and add the water or vegetable broth.
  • Cook on high 3 - 4 hours or low 8 hours. Potatoes and garlic should be very tender.
  • Using a potato masher, mash potatoes a bit and then pour in 1/4 cup half-and-half. Continue mashing, adding additional half-and-half until potatoes are desired consistency. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • Serve topped with additional butter if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For best results, use firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold, Red, or New Potatoes. These potatoes hold their shape well and won't become mushy in the slow cooker.
  • Cut potatoes evenly: Cut potatoes into uniform pieces so they cook evenly. Smaller pieces will cook faster than larger pieces.
  • Season potatoes well: Don't be afraid to season your potatoes generously. Salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs are all great options.
  • Add some liquid: Potatoes need some liquid to cook properly. Add enough broth, water, or milk to cover the potatoes by about an inch.
  • Cook on low and slow: The best way to cook potatoes in a slow cooker is on low and slow. This allows the potatoes to cook through without becoming overcooked or mushy.
  • Check potatoes for doneness: Potatoes are done when they are tender when pierced with a fork. If they are not done, continue cooking for a little longer.
