Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds red potatoes
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 medium garlic cloves
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into 1- to 2-inch chunks, leaving the skins on for texture and flavor.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Place the potato chunks into the crock pot, spreading them evenly across the bottom.
Add the minced garlic and chicken broth to the crock pot, ensuring the liquid is evenly distributed.
Cut the butter into small pieces and scatter them over the potatoes.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 6-7 hours, or until the potatoes are soft and easily pierced with a fork.
Once the potatoes are cooked, use a potato masher to mash them directly in the crock pot.
Stir in the sour cream, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the mashed potatoes are creamy and smooth. Add more milk if a thinner consistency is desired.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed by adding additional salt or pepper to your preference.
Sprinkle the mashed potatoes with fresh parsley before serving for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve hot as a hearty side dish. Enjoy!
