Method
Peel and cut the potatoes into even pieces.
Place the potatoes in a crock pot, add chicken broth and butter, then cover and cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
Drain any excess broth (reserve for soup if desired).
Stir in heavy cream, additional butter, cream cheese, and salt; let the mixture melt for a few minutes.
Mash the potatoes directly in the pot using a hand mixer or a potato ricer for a lump‑free texture.
Top with extra butter and a sprinkle of chopped green onions or parsley before serving.
