Serves:: 4-6

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

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

Has anyone cooked these on low? For how long and did they turn out okay?

These were so easy! I loved that about this recipe for our Christmas Eve dinner. We really enjoyed them too! Only difference I would make is next time add a little butter the last 20 minutes or so of cooking to make them a little creamier but not quite as thick. The taste is terrific! Thanks so much for sharing!

I gave it two stars for creativity, but other than that didn't care for it. My potatoes started to brown for lack of enough water, and they were pretty gummy. Followed directions except used regular cream cheese.

This recipe is awesome! Very simple to make. I accidentally added the whole tub of cream cheese and it was still wonderful.

These were simple and tasted amazing! I only had one pound of red potatoes so I divided the recipe into thirds and it turned out great. I also only had regular cream cheese...next time I will make sure I try the cream cheese with chives and onions. DH kept saying these are awesome potatoes! Definitely a keeper in our house! thx!
