Ingredients

5 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
½ cup unsalted butter, cubed
3 cups chicken broth
8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
½ teaspoon garlic powder
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Instructions

Add the potatoes and chicken broth to a large slow cooker and dot the top with butter.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
Once the potatoes are done cooking, strain off the cooking liquid and reserve it. Use a hand masher or a potato ricer to mash all the potatoes to your liking.
Pour half of the reserved liquid over the top, add garlic powder and dot the top with the cubed cream cheese. Cover and set the crockpot to the warm setting for 20-30 minutes, or until the cream cheese is fully softened.
Stir the cream cheese into the potatoes, adding additional reserved liquid as needed until the potatoes are the desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm for up to 1 hour on the warm setting before serving.
