Um … heaven — that’s what these mashed potatoes taste like. They are smooth and creamy and full of flavor. This is now my go-to mashed potato recipe. And the perfect part is it’s a crock pot recipe, so it’s super easy! Oh, and did I mention you don’t have to stand over the sink peeling potatoes for hours? Yeah, heaven.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Red potatoes, chopped
- Garlic cloves, roasted
- Thyme
- Chicken broth
- Butter
- Heavy cream
Chop up your potatoes — no need to peel. Roast the garlic. Check out this photo if you need to know how to roast the garlic.
Add the potatoes, garlic cloves, thyme, chicken broth, and butter into a crock pot.
Cook on low for about 4 hours.
Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes. Then add in the heavy cream — as little or as much as you want based on how creamy you want them to be. You can sprinkle a little chopped parsley on top to make them look extra yummy.
Enjoy!

I love thyme and have never tried it in mashed potatoes. Great idea!
