These potatoes are great with just about anything! My favorite is chicken or steak, but salmon would be great too!

Slow Cooker Sour Cream and Onion Mashed Potatoes
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!

can you freeze leftovers??
Potatoes and cream don’t freeze very well. I apologize!
Hi I live in Denmark and I just got my first slow cooker and want to try this recipe 🙂 But I dont see anywhere where you set the cooker on low, medium or high. Can you tell me where I should set it ? Thanks 🙂
It’s on high. Be sure to use the recipe card.
Thank you for your answer 🙂 I will use it 🙂 Wish you a great day from Denmark 🙂
I want your Recipe please that look Good
The recipe is there in the recipe card. 🙂
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
