Slowcooker Mashed Potatoes
5 servings

Ingredients
6 med size potatoes, cubed, peeling is optional 
1 cup water
 ½ stick of butter
4 oz of cream cheese
½ tsp onion powder
1 clove garlic, crushed
 ¼ - 1/2 cup milk depending on how dry the potatoes are

 Salt and pepper to taste
 

Directions
Butter a 4-quart slowcooker, toss the potatoes, water garlic in then cover and cook on high until the potatoes are tender, about 4 hours. The potatoes might have browned lightly in spots but that is okay.
No need to drain another bonus, add the cream cheese, 1/4 cup  milk , onion powder, to the potatoes. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until they are mostly smooth. If the potatoes need to be thinned out, stir in the remaining 1/2 cup warm milk. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Garnish with chives.

add crumbled cooked bacon, 1/2 cup shredded cheese,
2 tbs scallions or chives for a bake stuffed version

sour cream can be used in place of cream cheese
