Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 ½ lb Russet Potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 2 ½ lb Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes

Cooking Liquid and Fats

  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 cup Butter

Finishing Ingredients

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1 cup Milk, more or less to taste
  • Salt and Pepper to taste (start with 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and peel both Russet and Yukon Gold potatoes, then cut them into uniform 2-inch cubes. Rinse the cut potatoes again to remove excess starch.
  2. Cook in Crockpot: Place all the potatoes into the bottom of a 6-quart or larger crockpot. Pour the chicken broth evenly over the potatoes, then distribute the butter on top. Cover and cook on high heat for 4 hours or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  3. Mash Potatoes: Once cooked, add cream cheese and milk to the crockpot. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with additional milk if desired.
  4. Season to Taste: Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper, starting with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Mix well and taste to adjust seasoning.
  5. Serve or Keep Warm: Serve the mashed potatoes immediately or keep them warm in the crockpot on the keep-warm setting for up to 2 hours.

Notes

  • Use a 6-quart or larger crockpot to accommodate the large quantity of potatoes.
  • To achieve uniform cooking, cut potatoes into similarly sized cubes.
  • Adjust milk quantity to get your preferred mashed potato consistency.
  • Keep mashed potatoes warm in the slow cooker to avoid drying out before serving.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled or halved depending on your gathering size.
