Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds yukon gold potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3 tablespoons chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • chives, for garnish

Instructions

  • Start your slow cooker on high heat and place butter and chicken broth in the bottom. Allow it to start melting while you chop your potatoes.
  • Add potatoes and top with garlic and dill. Cover and cook for 3-4 hours on high heat. The cook time will vary greatly depending on the size you cut your potatoes. Cook until soft and easily mashed with a fork.
  • When soft, add sour cream and milk. Then using an electric hand mixer directly into the slow cooker pot, mash the potatoes.
  • Add more milk if texture is still too thick. Season with salt and pepper, top with chives and serve!

Notes

  • I like to stir in an additional 3 tbsps of butter right after mashing the potatoes.
