Serving12
Ingredients
- 5 pounds red potatoes, cut into chunks
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 3 cubes chicken bouillon
- 8 ounces sour cream, light or fat free is fine
- 8 ounces cream cheese, light or fat free is fine
- 1/4 cup butter
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon parsley flakes, optional topping
Instructions
- 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 for later.
- 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. Sprinkle with parsley flakes if desired.
Notes
- If you want smooth mashed potatoes, I would choose either the hand mixer or stand mixer since they can eliminate most of the lumps.
