Key Ingredients

Boursin cheese – Instantly adds herby, garlicky richness. I find these on the fancy cheese aisle near the Parmesan cheese.

Yukon Gold or russet potatoes – Both taste great in this recipe

Warm heavy cream – Keeps the mash silky.

Butter + garlic powder – Classic comfort and easy garlic flavor.

Sarah’s Tips & Variations

Additions: Mix in crumbled cooked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, or roasted garlic cloves to enhance the flavor.

Cheese Swap: You can substitute Boursin for cream cheese, goat cheese, or herbed garlic soft cheeses if you don’t have Boursin.

Lighten Up: For a lighter version. Use half-and-half or even low-fat milk in place of heavy cream, and reduce the butter slightly.

Too Thick? If your potatoes come out too thick, mix in more warm milk or cream a little at a time until you get the right texture

How to Store & Reheat?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat in the microwave or on the stove over low heat. Add a splash of milk or cream to keep them creamy while warming. Stir well to prevent sticking.

  • Place the peeled and chopped potatoes into the slow cooker. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Cover with the lid and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours, until the potatoes are very soft and fork-tender.

  • Once the potatoes are done, drain any excess broth from the slow cooker.

  • Add the Boursin cheese, butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the cooked potatoes.

  • Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash the potatoes directly in the slow cooker until smooth and creamy.

  • Gradually pour in the warmed cream while mashing, adding a little at a time to control the consistency. Stir until everything is well combined and the mashed potatoes are as smooth or chunky as you prefer.

  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Adding more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.

  • Keep the slow cooker on the “warm” setting if serving immediately, or transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish.

  • Garnish with fresh chives or parsley, if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy!
