Equipment Needed:
Ingredients:
- 5 lbs. Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup white onion, minced
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- water to cover
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 16 oz. sour cream
- 1 bunch green onion sliced
- 1/4 cup chives
Instructions:
- Add the peeled and diced potatoes to the slow cooker. Add the minced white onion, garlic cloves and add water to cover.
- Add the lid to the slow cooker. Cook on high for 5 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
- When the cooking time is up, Drain the water off. I do this by using 2 pot holders and a spoon to hold the potatoes back, and pour off the water down the drain, it’s tricky but can be done. Or you can dump the potatoes into a colander.
- If you see the garlic cloves, remove them. I had a hard time getting them to blend up.
- Add the stick of butter and bury it down in the potatoes to melt. Add the sour cream, salt and pepper. Using a mixer, blend the potatoes until smooth. You can use a potato masher and mash by hand if needed. Stir in the sliced green onion and chives.
- Serve and enjoy!

I would recommend to just mash the Potatoes, so you still have a bit of Chunks in it, but that’s only my Opinion, since we do it like this in Germany.
Take it up another notch, serve with french fried onions on top! The ones you can buy in the store
I bought the ingredients and I’m going to make it for my boyfriend’s birthday
