Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Add the cubed potatoes to the slow cooker along with 1 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the whole garlic cloves.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on high heat for 4 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully remove the garlic cloves from the slow cooker and mash them into a paste using the back of a spoon or fork.
Drain any excess water from the slow cooker and mash the potatoes using a potato masher or hand mixer to your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
Stir in the butter, heavy cream, sour cream, mashed garlic paste, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, black pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
Taste the potatoes and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Sprinkle parsley over the top before serving for a fresh burst of flavor.
Serve warm as a comforting and delicious side dish.
