Preparation
Step 1
Put potatoes in the bowl of a slow cooker. Pour the broth over the potatoes. Place the garlic and butter on top. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 6-8 hours, or until the potatoes are soft.
Step 2
Use a potato masher, ricer, or electric mixer to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency. If you use a mixer, make sure you keep the mixer in the bowl or you will have a mess. Also, don't over mix the potatoes or you will end up with glue.
Step 3
Stir in the cream cheese, milk, and heavy cream. Stir until well combined and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper and stir again. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with chives, if using. You can add an extra pat of butter on top, if desired. Serve warm.

Chef's notes
Note-you might need a little extra milk depending on how thin/creamy you like your potatoes.
