Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the Russet potatoes into evenly sized 1-inch chunks. Mince or finely chop the garlic cloves.
Place the diced potatoes and minced garlic into the slow cooker, and pour in the chicken broth. Stir to combine.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Once the potatoes are fully cooked, add the unsalted butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper directly into the slow cooker.
Using a potato masher or an electric hand mixer, mash the potatoes directly in the slow cooker until they reach your desired consistency. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Keep the mashed potatoes on the 'Warm' setting until ready to serve. Stir occasionally to prevent them from drying out.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
