Instructions
Place the peeled and chopped potatoes into the slow cooker. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Cover with the lid and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours, until the potatoes are very soft and fork-tender.
Once the potatoes are done, drain any excess broth from the slow cooker.
Add the Boursin cheese, butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the cooked potatoes.
Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash the potatoes directly in the slow cooker until smooth and creamy.
Gradually pour in the warmed cream while mashing, adding a little at a time to control the consistency. Stir until everything is well combined and the mashed potatoes are as smooth or chunky as you prefer.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Adding more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
Keep the slow cooker on the “warm” setting if serving immediately, or transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish.
Garnish with fresh chives or parsley, if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy!
