Ingredients

For the Potatoes

cooking spray Prevents sticking in the crockpot; helps with cleanup.
2 pounds baby potatoes Quartered for quick and even cooking; substitute with Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes if preferred.
1 teaspoon kosher salt Enhances natural potato flavor; can adjust to taste.
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Adds subtle heat and depth to the dish.

For the Flavor

4 tablespoons butter Provides richness; use unsalted for control over saltiness.
4 cloves garlic Fresh minced garlic enhances aroma and flavor.
1 teaspoon dried oregano Adds earthiness; fresh herbs can be substituted but should be added later in cooking.
1 teaspoon dried rosemary Adds earthiness; fresh herbs can be substituted but should be added later in cooking.

For the Creaminess

1 cup sour cream Contributes creaminess and tang; substitute with Greek yogurt for a similar effect.
½ cup milk Whole or 2% for a smooth mash; can use half-and-half for richer consistency.

For the Garnish

2 tablespoons chives Fresh chives on top provide color and a mild onion flavor—great as a garnish.
¼ cup water A small amount helps steam the potatoes; do not overdo it to avoid watery mash.
