Author: Slow Cooker Gourmet

Ingredients

• 1 pound fingerling potatoes
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1/4 cup diced onion
• 3 cups vegetable broth
• 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon dried chives
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese with chives for later
• Fresh herbs for garnish optional, I used parsley

Instructions

1. Wash and cut potatoes into large chunks
2. Add to slow cooker along with diced onion and minced garlic
3. Add in broth and seasoning
4. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 until potatoes are tender
5. Whisk in cream cheese and let continue to cook and heat through for another 15-20 minutes
6. Whisk again until broth is smooth and cream cheese is fully incorporated

7. Serve garnished with fresh herbs or as desired

Recipe Notes

I cooked this on high in my 3.5 quart slow cooker for 4 hours.

You may have to give this a few extra whisks to fully incorporate cream cheese. It may look separated at first, but don't panic. Keep whisking and let heat through and it will become smooth.
