Ingredients for Garlic Mashed Potatoes:

- 2 pounds of Yukon gold
- 4 cloves of garlic, smashed

How to Make Garlic Mashed Potatoes:
Step 1
Peel off the skin of the potatoes, then chop the potatoes into 1-inch cubes, and place them in a 3.5 to 4 quarts slow cooker. Smash the garlic cloves and add them to the crockpot, then season them with salt and pepper, and pour in the broth.

Step 2
Stir everything until well combined, then put the lid on the slow cooker, then cook the potatoes on a high setting for about 4 to 5 hours or until very tender. Once the potatoes are done cooking, remove the lid, then add the clarified butter or ghee and milk, and remove the garlic or leave them in depending on your taste.
Step 3
Put the lid back on the slow cooker, then cook it for an additional 30 minutes or more until everything is hot. Using a potato masher, start mashing the potatoes in the pot, then season it with salt and pepper to taste, and set the slow cooker in a warm function to keep warm or serve immediately. Garnish with parsley and enjoy!
