Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place the lid on and turn the crockpot to HIGH. Cook on HIGH for 5-6 hours, or until the potatoes are soft. (If you want to use the LOW setting, cook for 8-9 hours.)
Once potatoes are soft, use a potato masher to smash the potatoes. Smash them until you have a slightly chunky texture.
Pour in the whipping cream, stirring well.
