Ingredients

5 lbs Russet Potatoes Peeled and chopped into 2-inch cubes
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup butter Softened
1/2 cup sour cream
2 Vidalia onions Thinly sliced
2 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
heavy cream or whole milk To taste
oil

Instructions

Peel and chop the potatoes into 2-inch cubes.
Place the potatoes, chicken stock, and garlic powder in the crockpot. Mix, cover, and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
While the potatoes cook, add oil to a large skillet. Heat over medium-low heat.
Add the onions and season with salt. Cook the onions for 35-40 minutes while stirring frequently. Once the onions are nice and caramelized, remove them from the heat.
Once the potatoes are done cooking and are fork-tender, mash with a potato masher or an electric mixer. Add the butter, sour cream, and season generously with salt and pepper. If you want them extra creamy, add milk or heavy cream.
Top the mashed potatoes with the caramelized onions.
Serve immediately or keep on warm until ready to serve.
