Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes

Crockpot mashed potatoes are now on my list for Thanksgiving this year. I’m done standing over a huge pot of boiling water waiting for my potatoes to cook, while juggling a turkey, gravy and other meal ingredients. I tried these slow cooker mashed potatoes this last week and I’m sold!  I hope you like them, too.

Recipe type: Vegetables

Ingredients

• 5 pounds of potatoes, peeled and diced 1″ cubes - I used a combination of Yukon gold and Russet
• Chicken stock, 1.5 cups
• Butter, 2 Tablespoons
• Fresh garlic, 2 cloves, minced
• Sour cream, 1.5 cups
• Optional – parmesan cheese, chives, cheese and more butter!

Instructions

1. Peel your potatoes and dice them into 1 – 2″ inch pieces.
2. Toss potatoes into slow cooker.
3. Pour chicken stock over potatoes. Add butter and garlic to the slow cooker with the potatoes.
4. Cook on low for 8 hours.
5. When potatoes have softened, toss in sour cream and mash with a potato masher in the crockpot until the consistency you’d like. (If I had fresh parmesan cheese I would have shredded this and added it at this time to mix in.)
6. Turn to warm and serve from the crockpot! Top with your favorite gravy or toppings.
