I don't remember where I got this recipe, but it has become one of our favorites. You can cover any leftover potatoes and refrigerate or freeze. Reheat quickly in the microwave, adding a little milk for desired consistency.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 lbs red potatoes
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup cream cheese with chives and onions (from an 8-ounce tub)
1/4-1/2 cup milk

Directions

1
Halve or quarter potatoes as necessary to make similar size pieces.
2
Place in a 4 to 6 quart crock pot.
3
Add garlic, oil, salt and water; mix well to coat all potato pieces.
4
Cover and cook on HIGH for 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 hours or until potato pieces are tender.
5
With a fork or potato masher, mash potatoes and garlic.
6
Stir in cream cheese until well blended.
7
Stir in enough milk for soft serving consistency.
8
Serve immediately, or cover and hold in slow cooker on LOW setting for up to 2 hours.
9
I have used a 3 ounce piece of cream cheese, cubed, in place of the tub of cream cheese and chives and onions.

These potatoes were great! I didn't have any cream cheese so I substituted sour cream and omitted the milk. Every single one in my family made a comment about how delicious the potatoes were! Will definitely make these again.

These were an hit with our dinner guests last night! Not only are they tasty but they are incredibly easy to fix. I love recipes that I can utilize the crock pot for, especially during the summer when it's too hot to turn the oven on. These will be prepared many more times in this house. One of my closest friends not only requested the recipe but took the leftovers home! I doubled the recipe for 8 of us and am I glad I did, there was only about 2 cups of potatoes left. I can't imagine how these would come out gummy, ours were the perfect consistency for potatoes. Thanks for the recipe.
