Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 3 lb. baby potatoes, quartered
  • 4 Tbsp. butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
  • 1 Tbsp. chives, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Slow Cooker: Grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Add Ingredients and Cook: Place quartered baby potatoes, butter, minced garlic, and water into the slow cooker. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well, cover, and cook on high heat for 3 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  3. Mash Potatoes and Add Creaminess: Once the potatoes are tender, add sour cream, milk, and dried herbs (oregano and rosemary). Use a potato masher to mash everything together until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped chives over the mashed potatoes before serving to add a fresh, mild onion flavor and vibrant color.

Notes

  • Use baby potatoes or small new potatoes for best texture and quick cooking.
  • If you prefer smoother mashed potatoes, use a hand mixer after mashing by hand.
  • Adjust milk quantity for desired consistency—add more for creamier, less for thicker mash.
  • Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried for a more vibrant herb flavor.
  • Leftover mashed potatoes store well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and reheat easily.
