SLOW COOKER MASHED POTATOES <3

2 pounds red potatoes, cut into 2 inch pieces (you can peel them but I never do - I love red potato skins in my mashed potatoes!) ½ cup sour cream (or plain greek yogurt) ¼ cup milk 2 teaspoons minced garlic 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon black pepper

Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray. Add chopped potatoes. Cover and cook 2-3 hours on high or 5-6 hours on low. Add sour cream, milk, garlic, salt, and pepper to potatoes. Use a hand mixer to blend together all ingredients. (Please see note below recipe!) Give them a taste and add more salt if desired. Serve plain, or with any favorite toppings such as gravy, or cheese and bacon.

*This recipe can easily be doubled for large groups - just increase the cooking time by 1-2 hours. **You can also smash the potatoes if you prefer, I like to use the hand mixer because it is so FAST and easy and I can make them as smooth or as textured as I want to be mixing them for a longer or shorter time!
