These are the Easiest Garlic Mashed Potatoes ever - made entirely in the bowl of a slow cooker and they still have that deliciously warm garlic flavor!

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds Russet potatoes, chopped into 1 or 2 inch pieces
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 3–5 large cloves fresh garlic (depends on how much you can handle! I did 3 for this batch)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the potatoes, milk, broth, and garlic in a slow cooker, with the garlic sitting on top. Cover and cook for 4-5 hours on high or 7-8 hours on low. When the potatoes are very tender, mash directly in the bowl of the slow cooker to incorporate everything to your desired consistency. You can also use an electric mixer, which I did, and it was super slick. Just be careful not to keep the mixer completely inside the bowl so you don’t get a mashed potato spray.

  2. 2

    Stir in the salt, butter, and sour cream. Taste and adjust seasoning, mix or mash any more if needed, and serve. Yummmms.
