Slow Cooker Loaded Mashed Potatoes are the easiest side dish you'll ever make! This recipe is great for every meal, from weeknight dinners to feeding your holiday crowd!
Peel the potatoes (if desired) and then cut them into 1-inch pieces. Place the potatoes in a slow cooker and top with chicken broth, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours.
Uncover and add the butter. Mash until the potatoes reach your desired consistency. (We like our potatoes a little lumpy.)
Stir in the sour cream, cream cheese, and most of the cooked bacon, cheese, and chives (you'll use the rest on top). Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed.
Sprinkle the top with the cheese, bacon, and chives. Pop the slow cooker lid back in place and heat until the cheese is melted. Serve as is or give everything once last stir before serving warm.
