I may have mentioned once or 10 times that I love mashed potatoes. I believe there is an "Ode to Mashed Potatoes" in this blog. I'll be honest, this is something that is making me scratch my head. I hope it works...I don't see any reason why it wouldn't but like I said, I am scratching my head. The crock pot is not the first kitchen gadget when I am making mashed potatoes...but maybe this old dog can learn a new trick.
5lb. red potatoes
1 tbsp. minced garlic or to taste
3 cubes chicken bouillon
1 8oz. container sour cream
1 8oz. package cream cheese, softened
1/2 C. 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.
