Step-by-Step Method
Prep the potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into big chunks. Mince the garlic so it blends in easily as it cooks.
Add to the slow cooker
Put the potatoes in the Crock Pot. Sprinkle over the salt and garlic. If the pot looks very dry, add 1 tablespoon of water.
Top with cream cheese
Scatter the cream cheese pieces over the potatoes. No need to fully mix yet—the cheese will soften and stir in later.
Cook low and slow
Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours. Try not to lift the lid often, since that drops the temperature and slows cooking.
Stir and serve
Once the potatoes are tender, stir gently until the cream cheese coats everything. For a smoother texture, lightly mash a few pieces. Serve hot.
