Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes

Another recipe I can’t eat (both the sour cream and cream cheese give me migraines), but I made it a few times before I figured it out, it was requested often and gone in no time….

From allrecipes.com

Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes

5 pounds red potatoes, cut into chunks
1 tablespoon minced garlic, or to taste
3 cubes chicken bouillon
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter
salt and pepper to taste

In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook the potatoes, garlic, and bouillon until potatoes are tender but firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, reserving water. In a bowl, mash potatoes with sour cream and cream cheese, adding reserved water as needed to attain desired consistency.

Transfer the potato mixture to a slow cooker, cover, and cook on Low for 2 to 3 hours. Just before serving, stir in butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.

    My goodness, does this ever sound delicious! Straight from the lips to the hips, this one. :) Thanks once again for sharing the recipe! This might go very well with a New Year ham.

    Nancy, I also served this recipe with ham and found that the flavours really complement each other. If you were at all concerned about the fat content, it’s easy to reduce it by replacing the butter with margarine and the sour cream and cream cheese with low fat versions.
