Ultimate Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes
"I found this recipe on the Budget Savvy Diva site and it has been saving me tons of time (and stess) for the past few weeks! And like she said in the blog, the cream cheese makes all the difference. I can't wait to make this for our huge Thanksgiving dinner so I can focus on other recipes."

- Serves:

25
ingredients
- 5 lbs russet potatoes (I have used Yukon Gold, also)
- 1 1⁄2 cups chicken broth
- 1⁄4 cup butter, cut into small cubes
- 1 1⁄4 cups light sour cream
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1⁄3 cup milk, warmed
- 2 ounces light cream cheese
directions
- Peel potatoes and cube. She stated that she likes to get 12 cubes per potato. You can do this if using Russets but not if using Yukons. Each cube should be about 1-1 1/2 inches.
- Place potato cubes, butter and chicken broth into slow cooker and set to High.
- Cover and cook for 4 1/2 hours.
- Mash roughly in crock pot and add garlic, sour cream, salt, pepper, milk, and cream cheese and finish mashing.

I am rating this five star for the method and consistency, but would give 4 stars on flavor. However, that might be because they ended up in the crock pot for an extra hour before I mashed them. This was made in my Thanksgiving test kitchen and passed ... I will be using this method to cook my potatoes on Thanksgiving day which will save steps in that crazy hour before meal time ... I will be skipping the cream cheese addition though.

The most defining trait in my life is that I am a mother to two wonderful boys (Tyler, 20 and Zayden, 9). I live in the little college town of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. It is the most wonderful place to live as it's nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and along the beautiful Susquehanna River.
Seeing that we live in Central Pennsylvania, our family is also a bunch of HARDCORE Penn State Nittany Lion fans! We are...PENN STATE! I was lucky enough to be given tickets to see Joe Paterno win his 400th game as the head coach of the football team. I cried like I did when my children were born.
The other love of my life is cooking. I didn't really start trying to cook until I was 20, but believe me I have made up for lost time! I absolutely adore baking and I do it whenever I can. I love making Christmas cookies and I have begun hosting our extended families at our home for Thanksgiving and Easter dinners. So far so good.
I love food.com because it allows me to expand my culinary skills and my recipe box with ideas from other people like me. There is something for everyone and I have been a loyal member since 2005. I hope you enjoy my recipes and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
