Prep these in the early afternoon and they are done by dinner time. Super convenient if you have to be out of the house all day!
Ingredients
  • 5 pounds white potatoes
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1½ cups chicken broth (I used Watkins Chicken Soup and Gravy Base)
  • ¼ cup butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ⅓-1/2 cup milk
  • 2 ounces cream cheese (optional)
Instructions
  1. Wash and peel your potatoes. Cut them into smallish cubes and place into crock pot.
  2. Add butter and chicken stock to the potatoes and give a quick stir to mix everything together.
  3. Cook on high for 4½ hours or until potatoes are tender. I suggest stirring it a few times throughout the cooking time to make sure that none of the potatoes stick and burnt to the side of the pot.
  4. Roughly mash the potatoes.
  5. Add sour cream, salt, pepper, milk and cream cheese.
  6. Taste.
  7. These will remain warm up to 1 hour in the crock pot.
