Ingredients

  • 5 lb baking potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 1/2 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 to 1 cup milk, warmed

Steps

  • 1
    In 4- to 5-quart slow cooker, place potatoes, chicken broth and butter.
  • 2
    Cover; cook on High heat setting 4 hours to 4 hours 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  • 3
    Add remaining ingredients except 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 enough milk for desired creamy consistency. Cover and keep warm on Low or Warm heat setting until serving time, up to 2 hours. Stir before serving.

  • Russet or Idaho baking potatoes are both good picks for these easy mashed potatoes.
  • If you prefer, these potatoes can be cooked on a low heat setting for 8 hours.
  • Always keep the slow cooker covered for the specified cooking time. Each time the lid is removed, it allows heat to escape, adding 15 to 20 minutes to the cooking time.
