Creamy Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes

Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes. They’re the ying to my yang, the Thelma to my Louise, and the peanut butter to my chocolate. Some things just go together better than others. Me and crock pot mashed potatoes just fit. 

With the holiday’s upon us, many of you are looking for ways to make holiday cooking easier. This Creamy Mashed Potatoes recipe is one dish you can set and forget about while going about your holiday baking. Plus it keeps one less pan off the already full stovetop burners. Our Smoked Potatoes, Air Fryer Baby Potatoes, Sous Vide Mashed Potatoes and Garlic Mashed Potatoes are four other great option. 

How To Make Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes

The best potatoes to use for crock pot potatoes are Yukon Gold or Red. Russet potatoes work also, but they don’t quite have the “creamy” flavor of the other two. We prefer to keep those for hearty baked potatoes.

You can either mash the taters by hand or use an electric mixer. We like a few lumps, so opt to mash by hand.

If you’d like to make Crock Pot Garlic Mashed Potatoes just add 3-4 garlic cloves with the butter, before you start cooking.

If you’d like to make Mashed Potatoes with cream cheese, just swap out the sour cream for cream cheese.

Feel free to add cheese, bacon, chives, whatever floats your boat to the finished product.
