The Best Creamy Garlic Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes

Steps
- In a large 5 or 6 quart slow cooker add diced potatoes, minced garlic and 1 1/2 cups of milk. Cook on high for 3 to 4 hours until potatoes are very fork tender.
- Once potatoes are done cooking, place slow cooker on warm setting and add in butter, sour cream and 1/2 cup of milk to start. MAKE SURE ALL INGREDIENTS ARE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE OR WARMED! Use a potato masher to mash potatoes until they reach your desired consistency. I happen to like my potatoes super creamy, so I mash them until they’re completely smooth! You can also use an electric hand mixer if you prefer. If you want your potatoes creamier, add in ½ cup-1 cup more milk. Finally, a generous amount of salt and pepper, then mix again. Taste, and add more salt and pepper, if necessary.
- Transfer to a large warm casserole dish for serving, add a pat of butter, a sprinkle of fresh thyme, and a little freshly ground black pepper. Serves 10.
