Slow Cooker Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
5 lbs Red Potatoes
1 !/2 cups of vegetable broth
1 stick of room temperature butter
1 8 ounce bar of room temperature cream cheese
1 1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup of whole milk or cream
2 heads of roasted garlic
salt and pepper to taste

1. Scrub your potatoes till squeaky clean!
2. Cube the potatoes.
3. Add the cubed potatoes into the Slow Cooker along with your vegetable stock (or water)
4. Dice your 2 tablespoons of butter and add to the potatoes
5. Time to put the cover on and cook on high for 5 hours (cooking time can vary according to your slow cooker…so check the potatoes at 4 hours and see how they are doing.
6. (Drain the broth or water) Mash the potatoes for a bit…I use a hand mixer and it works perfectly…make it as smooth or lump as you want!
7. Add the rest of the butter…cream cheese…sour cream…milk…salt and pepper and squeeze all of the roasted garlic out of the 2 cloves into the potatoes and mix some more till you get the consistency you love…We like ours a little bit lumpy!
8. Top with chives or scallions…or cheese…the sky is the limit!
I LOVE that you can keep these delicious potatoes hot right in the crock pot so they are ready to eat hot at any given time!
