Ingredients
-
5 pounds red potatoes
3 teaspoons low-fat chicken bouillon granules
1 teapoon salt
6 cloves of garlic, minced
8-ounce package fat-free cream cheese
8 ounces (1/2 cup) Breakstone fat-free sour cream
Ground black pepper, to taste.
Directions
Scrub potatoes and cut them into chunks. Rinse well and transfer to a stock pot. Cover with cold water, add salt, minced garlic, and bouillon granules. Bring to a boil and cook approximately 10 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain, reserving liquid. Add cream cheese and sour cream to pan and mash potatoes, adding reserved liquid as needed to achieve desired consistency.
Transfer to slow cooker and cook on low for 2 hours. Before serving, stir well and season with ground black pepper to taste.
Makes approximately 25 (1/2 cup) servings.
NOTE: Can be prepared up to the point of transfer to slow cooker and refrigerated. However, if you do this, you will need to increase the slow-cooker cooking time to 3 or 4 hours.

Incredible!
4 of 5 people found this review helpfulI created something very similar at thanksgiving dinner because we were short on pots. I cooked the potatoes on HIGH in the slow cooker for about 3 hrs, while the turkey roasted in the oven. Drain, add other ingrediented, and mash with a hand mixer right in the ceramic pot, then keep on very low. - 12/15/09

That's helpful to know. The whole shebang can be done all in the slow cooker. I wasn't sure about using the mixer inside the crock for fear of chipping the glaze. That wasn't a problem?

4 of 4 people found this review helpfulI made this 5 days ago for a potluck. I should have doubled the recipe! There are alot of really great cooks in my circle of friends (me not being one). This is the first time I've been asked my recipe. These are seriously easy and so so good. Try 'em!! They're better than the butter loaded ones. - 3/3/09

2 of 3 people found this review helpfulDelicious! I made a modified version of this recipe--boiling the potatoes on the stove instead and using garlic powder instead of minced. Used this as the potatoes on a casserole but saved some just to nibble on. They were outstanding--and the casserole was better than ever! Thanks! - 12/10/08

1 of 1 people found this review helpfulSO GOOD!! I liked these better than taters made with butter and milk! Tastes rich and creamy. We love garlic so I used little more. Can't wait to make these for family during the holidays. Thanks for sharing your recipe! - 10/9/10

1 of 1 people found this review helpfulYUM! Made them for Christmas dinner and they were terrific! We actually didn't use the slow cooker at all, just did it all in the pot and it only took 30-ish minutes. I was wondering why the cooker, does it do something else? - 12/29/09
Reply from DOWN2SEXY (12/29/09)
I developed the recipe as a make-ahead dish that could be easily transported to covered-dish dinners. That is the only purpose of transferring them to the slow cooker.

1 of 1 people found this review helpfulMy kids and Hubby loved these. they were pretty close to How I normally make my Tators so not a big change for them. I made the Whole recipe and Now today I am taking the Leftover half and Made Garlic Mash Tator Leftover Broccoli Cheese Soup(I posted that Recipe too.)Bonus is Make one Side 2 Meals - 11/12/09

Thanks for the positive comment.
I'll be right over to check out that soup recipe. I love soups and broccoli-cheese is one of my favorites.
I sometimes use the leftovers as a base for what we call baked potato soup. When I get some time I'll have to post that one, too.

1 of 1 people found this review helpfulI'm a little disappointed. Lots of flavor... just not great flavor.. Maybe after it 'crocks' for a while I'll like it better. - 6/8/09

Thanks for taking time to rate my recipe. You may want to adjust the seasonings to your family's tastes. The addition of fresh herbs or salt may perk it up for you. I don't cook with much salt due to being on a sodium-restricted diet.

1 of 1 people found this review helpfulI made this fpr my company Christmas party last weekend and it was a HUGE hit. It was the only dish that was gone at the end of the night. Very easy to make, and very tasty! I also like that you can put it in the fridge over night and slow cook it the next day. - 12/24/08

I made about a 1/4 of the recipe for dinner and used a can of (reduced sodium, fat free) chicken broth with water as a substitution for the bouillon. I also left out the crockpot transfer since we were eating right away. Turned out GREAT! - 11/5/12

Made this for Thanksgiving and a miracle happened thanks to these mashed potatoes.....my mom did NOT put butter in her mashed potatoes!!!! She always adds butter, no matter how much butter has gone into the mashed potatoes. So I am going to be using this way of making mashed potatoes from now on!!! - 11/30/11
