Put the potatoes, onions and garlic into a 6-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle in the seasonings and pour in the chicken broth. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
5 pounds potatoes, 1 small onion, 4 garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, 2 quarts chicken broth
Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes. You want a smooth soup. You can also transfer the soup to a blender and blend in batches. If the soup gets too thick, you can add in more chicken broth to thin it out.
After smashing the potatoes, add in the cream cheese. Cook on high for 30 minutes, or until the cream cheese has completely dissolved, stirring a few times throughout the 30 minutes.
