Ingredients

  • 5 pounds red potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, or to taste (roasted would be delicious too)
  • 3 cubes chicken bouillon
  • 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream (lite or fat-free is fine)
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened (lite or fat-free is fine)
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

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.
