Ingredients:

  • 5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Place the cubed Yukon Gold potatoes into the slow cooker.
  2. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and pour the chicken broth over the top, ensuring potatoes are evenly distributed.
  3. Set the slow cooker to High for 3 hours 30 mins until a fork slides into the largest potato chunk with zero resistance.
  4. While the potatoes are still hot, add the cubed butter and softened cream cheese.
  5. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher for a rustic texture until no large lumps remain.
  6. For a velvety finish, use a handheld electric mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Fold in the sour cream and black pepper, mixing just until combined.
  8. Taste and add an extra pinch of salt if the flavor isn't popping.
