Ingredients
- 1½ lbs russet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
- ¾ cup low sodium chicken broth
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅓ cup half and half (or milk or cream)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons sliced chives
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place cubed potatoes in a 2.5-4 quart slow cooker.
- Add the broth, salt and pepper and stir.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until tender (the outer potatoes will cook more quickly, so one stir half way through is a good idea but not necessary).
- Add half and half and butter and mashed until desired consistency is reached. Stir in chives and season with salt and pepper to taste.
