- 5 pounds Russet potatoes peeled and diced
- 1 cup butter diced and divided
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 8 ounces cream cheese cubed
- ⅓ cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
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.
- 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!
