Ingredients

  • 5 pounds Russet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 cup butter diced and divided
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 8 ounces cream cheese cubed
  • cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Million Dollar Mashed Potatoes Recipe
  • In a slow cooker, add the peeled and diced potatoes.
  • Pour in chicken broth and half the butter.
  • Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.
  • Carefully drain the potatoes and return to the crockpot and turn to warm.
  • Stir in the remaining butter, cream cheese, and milk.
  • Use a potato masher or whisk a combine and the get the texture and consistency you like in mashed potatoes.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and enjoy.

Notes

  • Peel and cut potatoes into similar sizes so they cook evenly.
  • Use broth instead of water for richer flavor.
  • Don't season with too much salt until the end. You can always add but you can't take it away.
  • Add different seasoning mixes to try different flavors. I like Italian seasoning or Ranch seasoning in mine.
  • Million dollar mashed potatoes are delicious on their own but feel free to garnish with green onions, cheddar cheese, bacon, and even jalapeno peppers.
  • Stir in some mashed roasted garlic cloves!
