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

Slow Cooker Size:

• 6 quart or larger

US Customary - Metric

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!
