Cuisine American

Servings 6

Equipment

• Slow cooker (linked below)
• Hand held mixer

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 6 large Russet or Idaho potatoes *see note
• 1-2 garlic cloves (optional)
• 2 chicken bouillon cubes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 oz. cream cheese
• 1/4-3/4 cup warmed milk *see note
• 6 tablespoons butter (divided)

Optional topping:

• 1 teaspoon finely chopped chives

Instructions

 

• Peel (optional) and chop potatoes, then place them into the slow cooker/crock pot along with chicken bouillon cubes dissolved in 1 cup hot water (*see note), salt and sliced garlic clove/s. Add water until the potatoes are well covered, then cover and cook on High for 3.5 to 5 hours until fork tender.
• Once potatoes are soft, drain water and place into a separate mixing bowl, then cube and slice the cream cheese and butter, and add to drained potatoes. Mix with a hand mixer to combine, then add a little warm milk, and continue mixing and adding milk until you reach the desired consistency.
• Brown two tablespoons of butter and place potatoes into a serving bowl. Pour browned butter over the mashed potatoes and garnish with the chopped chives (optional). Enjoy!

Notes

You can use any large baking or restaurant style potatoes. 

Warmed milk is optional. Cold milk can also be added, but the potatoes will lose some heat. 

You can also stir the bouillon and potato mixture in the crock pot after an hour or two, once water has heated enough to dissolve chicken bouillon cubes.

Equipment for these Ultimate Mashed potatoes:

• Slow cooker I prefer to use my large seven quart slow cooker for a bigger batch of mashed potatoes like these ultimate mashed potatoes.
• Hand mixer You could also use a potato masher, but I find using the hand mixer to take less effort and it produces the same desired creaminess.

Try serving these potatoes with Quick and Easy Gravy and Cheddar & Bacon Green beans.

Note 1* Potatoes done in the slow cooker soak up more moisture than if they are boiled. Normally I use around a cup of milk for my Amish style Mashed Potatoes, but for these crock pot potatoes it only took 1/2 cup. I suggest adding milk only until you reach the consistency that is right for you and yours.

Note 2* Newer Crock Pots tend to cook hotter and faster, so if you have an older Crock Pot allow for at least 4.5- 5 hours on High.

I Love the fact that I don’t have to worry about my potatoes cooking over and making a mess if I do them in the crockpot!

My family really enjoyed these potatoes with the added garlic, chives and browned butter. We will definitely be having these again!
