Creamy, garlicky mashed potatoes make for the perfect side with virtually any holiday meal.

Serves 8

Instructions:

1. Spray the inside of a 6-quart (6-L) slow cooker with cooking spray.
2. Add the potatoes, seasonings, roasted garlic, and chicken broth, and cook on low for 3 hours or on high for 1 to 1½ hours.
3. Use a hand mixer to blend the potatoes.
4. Add the butter and milk slowly, a little at a time. You may not need the full amount of milk, or you may need additional milk to get the consistency of the potatoes you prefer.
5. Add more seasonings, if needed.
6. Keep the potatoes warm in the slow cooker until you are ready to serve.
