Slow Cook Garlic Smashed Potatoes

This is easy. Half or quarter new red potatoes, add to crock pot. Add half cup water, 4 garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, 2 TB of olive oil. Mix well to coat potatoes pieces.
Cook on low for 3-4 hours.
Mash potatoes with fork.
Add a package of cream cheese and chopped scallions. Add 1/4 to one-half a cup of milk (I omitted milk and it was fine).
Mix. Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve or let cook for one more hour.

The boys went bezerk over the potatoes. What's not to love? The mixed them up with their green beans and ate it up.
