Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and wash the potatoes, then cut them into approximately 1-inch cubes.
Mince the garlic cloves.
Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or line it with a slow cooker liner for easy clean-up.
Place the cubed potatoes into the crock pot. Sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Cut the butter into small pieces and distribute evenly over the potatoes.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and heavy cream. Blend until smooth, then pour the mixture over the potatoes.
Set the crock pot to low and cook for 4-5 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Stir the potatoes gently to combine all ingredients. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, cover, and cook for an additional 30 minutes on low until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Once finished, taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives before serving, if desired.
