• 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place potatoes in a slow cooker. Add chicken broth and garlic.

Step 2

Cook until potatoes are fork-tender, 10 hours on Low or 4 1/2 hours on High. You may need to add more chicken broth if the potatoes get too dry.

Step 3

Add sour cream, half-and-half, and butter to the slow cooker. For extra-creamy potatoes, use beaters to mix until potatoes are smooth and everything is incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Serve immediately, or cover and heat on Warm until the rest of dinner is ready.
