Creamy Crockpot Mashed Potatoes For a Crowd

Garlic adds a subtle flavor boost, and a sprinkle of fresh chives or parsley makes them look as good as they taste. Serve straight from the crockpot for easy entertaining, and watch everyone come back for seconds."

"Potatoes: Use a 5-pound bag of Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes. Russets are extra fluffy, while Yukon Golds are naturally creamy - either works perfectly for smooth mashed potatoes. Broth: Chicken or vegetable broth keeps the potatoes moist while adding flavor to them. Butter: A full stick (1/2 cup) gives richness and helps create a velvety texture. Cut it into cubes so it melts evenly while cooking. Cream cheese & sour cream: These give the potatoes that ultra-creamy, tangy texture."

Crockpot mashed potatoes use a 5-pound bag of Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes cooked in chicken or vegetable broth until tender in a slow cooker. Butter and garlic are added during cooking to build richness and flavor while eliminating the need for boiling or extra pots. After cooking, cream cheese, sour cream, and cheddar are stirred in to create an ultra-creamy, tangy, and cheesy texture. A sprinkle of fresh chives or parsley provides color and a mild herbal note. Serve directly from the crockpot for easy entertaining and large gatherings.
