Cut 5 lbs of washed red potatoes into quarters.

Add potatoes to a large pot over medium high heat and pour in enough water to cover.

Add salt, 1 tsp of minced garlic, and 3 cubes of chicken bouillon.

Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and reserve the cooking liquid.

Add the potatoes to a large bowl and start mashing them.

Add in 1 8 oz container of sour cream and 1 8 oz package of softened cream cheese.

Mash the potatoes, adding reserved cooking liquid as needed for desired consistency.

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a slow cooker.

Cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, stirring at least once to prevent browning around the sides.

Just before serving, remove the lid and stir in 1/2 cup of butter and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
