Slow Cooker Whipped Mashed Potatoes

I love these whipped potatoes made in your slow cooker. Cooking in the broth give the potatoes a rich flavour, garlic makes them fragrant and addictive and then the addition of sour cream makes them smooth and creamy. You can wait to whip these when you're ready, and keep them warming in the slow cooker until go-time making them a tired hostesses dream.

Method
 

  1. Add potatoes and stock to the slow cooker. Arrange butter pats over top and sprinkle with minced garlic. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, or until potatoes are fork tender and soft.
  2. Using a potato masher or electric hand mixer, mash the potatoes until desired consistency. Stir in the sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Stir in warm milk or cream until potatoes reach your desired level of creaminess. Place in a serving dish and sprinkle with chives and an extra pat of butter.
