Slow Cooker Garlic Mashed Potatoes image

This is a great way to cook mashed potatoes without taking up space on the stovetop. It's also an excellent way to keep mashed potatoes warm before serving.

Time 5h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch chunks
1 head garlic, halved
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
3/4 cup half-and-half
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
Chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine the potatoes and garlic in the slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth over the potatoes, cover and cook on high 3 to 4 hours, or on low 6 to 8 hours.
  • Remove the potatoes and drain, reserving the cooking liquid and removing the garlic. Return the potatoes to the slow cooker.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan with the half-and-half over low heat. Remove from the heat and add to the potatoes along with the cream cheese and liberally season with salt and pepper. Use a potato masher to mash, adding the reserved cooking liquid to the potatoes if necessary for the desired consistency.
  • Keep warm before transferring to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped chives.

These mashed potatoes were a huge disappointment. They were dry and tasteless. I will not be making this recipe again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my mashed potatoes turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These mashed potatoes were a bit too garlicky for my taste, but my husband loved them. I would recommend using less garlic next time.
