Instructions

1
Place the peeled and cubed potatoes into the basin of a large slow cooker.
2
Pour in the chicken broth and add half of the butter (1/4 cup).
3
Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
4
Once cooked, carefully drain the liquid from the potatoes and return them to the slow cooker.
5
Add the remaining butter (1/4 cup), cubed cream cheese, and heavy whipping cream to the potatoes.
6
Cover and cook on high for another 10 minutes to allow the butter and cream cheese to melt and soften.
7
Add salt to taste.
8
Using a hand mixer or a potato masher, mash the potatoes directly in the slow cooker until they reach your desired smooth and creamy consistency.
9
Set the slow cooker to the 'warm' setting to keep the potatoes hot until ready to serve.
10
If desired, garnish with melted butter and fresh chopped chives, parsley, or green onions before serving.
