Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes

posted in All on 3/5/2015

This recipe is life changing! At least for me it was. For a long time I avoided making mashed potatoes as a side dish in our house because I hated the peeling and boiling and smashing process. It was too time consuming for me...

These require, seriously, 7 minutes of preparation.

All you have to do is cut up your potatoes – you don’t even have to peel them if you don’t want to – and then let them cook for a few hours. When they’re done, you come back, dump the last few ingredients in, and whip those babies up in a matter of about 1 minute.

The end. Perfect mashed potatoes every single time. No peeling, no boiling, no mashing. Just a whole lot of amazing mashed potato eating going on.

Once you try these, you will never need another mashed potato recipe for as long as you live.

These mashed potatoes will change your life. Creamy, tons of flavor, and seriously the easiest mashed potatoes you will ever make - you'll never go back to boiling and smashing! Ingredients 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

Instructions 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.
