Homestyle Crockpot (no-boil) Mashed Potatoes

5 lbs. russet potatoes, (peeled and chopped into 1 inch pieces)

32 oz chicken broth ((reduced sodium is best))

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), (divided)

8 oz cream cheese, (softened and cubed)

¼ cup heavy cream, (room temperature)

½ tsp onion powder ((optional))

½ tsp garlic powder ((optional))

Salt and pepper, to taste

Grease sides of slow cooker insert lightly with butter, then add chopped potatoes. Top with onion powder and garlic powder, then pour in chicken broth.
Cube 1 of the sticks of butter and place cubes around the tops of the potatoes. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 ½ - 4 hours.
Drain potatoes then place back in the crockpot. Add remaining stick of butter (cubed), cream cheese, heavy cream and salt and pepper. Start with ½ tsp of kosher salt and ¼ tsp pepper and adjust from there.
Use a potato masher to mash potatoes until mashed to your desired consistency, using a bit more heavy cream if needed.
Serve right away, or cover and set to WARM setting for a few hours.
