Here is a recipe that I have used for several years. My kids and grandkids love it! Of course I have to triple the recipe!!!
Slow-Cooked Garlic Smashed Potatoes
No peeling, no boiling! Just add potatoes to the slow cooker with the other ingredients, and mash them a few hours later!
3 lb small red potatoes
4 ea garlic cloves
2 Tbs olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup chives & onion cream cheese
1/4 cup milk, (1/4 to 1/2)
1. Halve or quarter potatoes as necessary to make similar-sized pieces. Place in 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add finely chopped garlic, oil, salt and water; mix well to coat all potato pieces.
2. Cover; cook on High setting 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours or until potatoes are tender.
3. With fork or potato masher, mash potatoes and garlic. Stir in cream cheese until well blended. Stir in enough milk for soft serving consistency. Serve immediately, or cover and hold in slow cooker on Low setting up to 2 hours.
