Equipment

  • Slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Little Potatoes, halved
  • 3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup half-and-half (or milk, or cream)
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 Tbsp chives, sliced
  • (To taste) salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Place halved potatoes in a 2 1/2 to 4-quart slow cooker.

  • Step 2

    Add the broth, salt, pepper, and stir.

  • Step 3

    Cover and cook on low for four hours or until tender. The outer potatoes will cook more quickly, so one stir halfway through cooking is a good idea (but not necessary).

  • Step 4

    Add half-and-half and butter and mash until desired consistency is reached. Stir in chives and season with salt and pepper to taste.
