Ingredients
- 3 pounds red potatoes
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 medium garlic cloves
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into 1- to 2-inch chunks, leaving the skins on for texture and flavor.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Step 3
Place the potato chunks into the crock pot, spreading them evenly across the bottom.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and chicken broth to the crock pot, ensuring the liquid is evenly distributed.
Step 5
Cut the butter into small pieces and scatter them over the potatoes.
Step 6
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 6-7 hours, or until the potatoes are soft and easily pierced with a fork.
Step 7
Once the potatoes are cooked, use a potato masher to mash them directly in the crock pot.
Step 8
Stir in the sour cream, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the mashed potatoes are creamy and smooth. Add more milk if a thinner consistency is desired.
Step 9
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed by adding additional salt or pepper to your preference.
