You’ve been missing out on the good stuff if you don’t try this Creamy Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes recipe!

CROCK POT MASHED POTATOES

These slow cooker mashed potatoes are that one side dish you’ll want to add to your weekly meal planning, and possibly any events coming up. Think Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, etc. Extremely versatile and mega creamy using only half of the amount of butter than the usual mashed potato recipe, you can make these however you like! For example: I love adding fresh grated parmesan and garlic to this recipe!

HOW TO MAKE MASHED POTATOES IN A CROCK POT

Peel and cut your potatoes into 1 ½ – inch chunks. (If you prefer your mash with potato peels, feel free to keep them on!) Once your potatoes are soft and super tender after slow cooking all day (or half of the day depending on which heat setting you close), and your house is filled with incredible, garlicky, buttery, comfort food smells, you’re going to mash them until your heart is content. Add in sour cream and milk, then taste test and POSSIBLY MAYBE keep eating them directly out of the slow cooker bowl because a serious addiction begins.

TIP: If you love a chunky mash, just hold back on mashing them too much.

BEST POTATOES FOR MASH

We love Yukon gold potatoes for this recipe, but you can also use Russet potatoes.

HOW LONG CAN MASHED POTATOES STAY OUT?

Cooked mashed potatoes should be discarded if left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature. Properly stored mashed potatoes in an air tight container will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
