Place peeled, wash and cut russet or Yukon Gold potatoes in a crock pot.
Pour in some chicken broth and add butter.
Cover and cook on high for three to four hours or on low for 6 to seven.
Check that they're done by seeing if you can easily person with a fork, then carefully drain any liquid.
Return the potatoes and add some butter, cream cheese and heavy whipping cream.
Cover and cook on half or 10 minutes.
Add salt, then using a potato masher or mixer, mash the potatoes directly in the crock pot until they're smooth and creamy.
Cover and keep the potatoes on warm until you're ready to serve them.
You can garnish the top with more melted butter, fresh chives, parsley or green onions.
