Ingredients

Scale

5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 ½-inch chunks
1 ¼ cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Add butter and mash directly in the slow cooker.

Gradually stir in warmed milk while mashing.

Mix in sour cream, remaining salt, and black pepper.

Keep warm until ready to serve and garnish with chives if desired.
