10-12 medium sized potatoes, washed and chopped into 1-inch pieces (skins on or peeled, your choice!)
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
5 cloves garlic, finely minced
salt and pepper, to taste
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup warm milk
1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley

Add the potatoes, chicken stock, garlic, salt and pepper, and butter to your slow cooker and stir to combine.
Cook on high for 3 to 3 1/2 hours or on low for 5-6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender.
Mash the potatoes well.
Add the warm milk, the sour cream or Greek yogurt, paprika and parsley.
Continue mashing until everything is incorporated and the mashed potatoes are smooth.
Add a little more fresh parsley for garnish, and salt and pepper to taste.

Feel free to remove the skins from the potatoes if you prefer, but leaving the skins on creates a beautiful rustic texture and adds flavour.
