These mashed potatoes are incredibly moist and creamy, making them the perfect addition to any dinner table. The slow cooking method allows the flavors to intensify, and the result is simply mouthwatering!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1/2 cup of cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup of butter, melted
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, chives, or cheese for extra flavor
Instructions
- Start by peeling and cubing the potatoes into even pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Place the cubed potatoes in your slow cooker and add the chicken or vegetable broth. This will give the potatoes a rich flavor as they cook.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. It’s essential to cook them until they’re fork-tender.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain any remaining broth. Add the sour cream, cream cheese, melted butter, and season with salt and pepper. If you like a bit of a kick, add garlic powder or your favorite herbs.
- Using a potato masher or mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- If you want to elevate these mashed potatoes, stir in some shredded cheese or chopped chives just before serving.
