Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lb Yukon gold potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup warm cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Method
 

  1. Add the cubed potatoes and chicken broth to the crockpot.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, until the potatoes are completely fork-tender.
  3. Add the butter and warm cream, then mash directly in the crockpot until smooth.
  4. Fold in the chives, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  5. Keep on the warm setting until ready to serve, stirring in a splash more cream if needed.

Notes

Yukon golds give the creamiest, most buttery mash.
