By mommypop

Ingredients

• 3 lbs. red potatoes, chopped
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan
• 2 Tbsp milk
• 1/2 tsp thyme
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp basil
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 2 Tbsp chopped fresh chives

Preparation

Step 1

Lightly coat inside of slow cooker with non stick spray. Place potatoes, butter, garlic and 1/4 cup water into slow cooker; season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours, or until tender.

Add sour cream, Parmesan, milk, thyme, oregano, basil and nutmeg. Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, blend potatoes until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.

Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired.
