Recipe provided by Ohio State University Extension. Potatoes are actually cooked and mashed out of the crockpot, then cooked for a couple of hours to blend the flavors. This recipe is perfect for the holidays because you don’t have the last minute mashing and beating of potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds red potatoes, cut into chunks (peeled if you like)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 cubes chicken bouillon
  • 8 oz. container sour cream
  • 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes, garlic and chicken bouillon cubes. Cook potatoes until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, reserving a little of the cooking water. Mash potatoes with sour cream and cream cheese, adding reserved cooking water to reach desired consistency. Transfer to a 4-quart crockpot, cover, and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours. Just before serving, stir in butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.
