Whether you are having a lot of company for dinner or going to a pot-luck, you will be a hit by making these delicious mashed potatoes.
5 lb. baking potatoes, peeled, cut into 1 inch cubes/chunks
1 1/2 c. chicken broth/stock
1/4 c. butter or margarine, cut into chunks
1 c. sour cream or plain yogurt
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. onion powder or the juice from a grated onion
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 - 1 cup milk, warmed or a mixture of milk and cream, warmed
Line a slow cooker with a slow cooker liner for easy clean up.
In a 4 - 5-quart slow cooker, place potato chunks, chicken broth/stock and butter.
Cover; cook on HIGH heat 4 - 4 1/2 hours or until potatoes are tender.
Add remaining ingredients except for the milk. Mash, crush or smash potatoes using potato masher, or beat with electric mixer on low speed until well blended. DO NOT overmix. Stir in small amounts of milk, a little at a time, until desired creamy consistency is reached.
