Steps:
- Toss the potatoes, butter, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add 1 cup of water, then cover and cook on high until the potatoes are tender, about 4 hours. (The potatoes might have browned lightly in spots but that is okay.)
- Remove the lid and add the sour cream and 1 1/2 cups warm milk to the potatoes. Use a potato masher to smash the potatoes until they are mostly smooth. If the potatoes need to be thinned out, stir in the remaining 1/2 cup warm milk. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Garnish with chives.

Tips:
- Start with the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are perfect for mashed potatoes.

- Drain the potatoes well: Use a colander to drain the potatoes and shake off any excess water.

- Use good quality butter: Butter adds richness and flavor to mashed potatoes.
