Ingredients

4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
½ cup chicken broth, or more as needed
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
½ cup half-and-half
1 stick butter
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Place potatoes in a slow cooker. Add chicken broth and garlic.
Cook until potatoes are fork-tender, 10 hours on Low or 4 1/2 hours on High. You may need to add more chicken broth if the potatoes get too dry.
Add sour cream, half-and-half, and butter to the slow cooker. For extra-creamy potatoes, use beaters to mix until potatoes are smooth and everything is incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve immediately, or cover and heat on Warm until the rest of dinner is ready.
