Description
Delicious and creamy mashed potatoes made effortlessly in a slow cooker.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 lbs gold potatoes (peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces)
- 2 cups water
- 6 Tablespoons butter (cut into small chunks)
- 1 cup sour cream or greek yogurt
- 1 cup milk of choice (plus more as needed, I used whole milk)
- 2 teaspoons fine sea salt (plus more to taste)
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper (plus more to taste)
Instructions
- Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray. Add chopped potatoes and water to the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook for 5-6 hours on high or about 8 hours on low, stirring every hour or so or until the potatoes are very tender and easily mash.
- Once the potatoes are tender, use a potato masher or hand mixer to mash the potatoes until smooth.
- Stir in the butter, sour cream or yogurt, milk, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Taste and add any additional seasonings or milk if needed to reach desired flavor and consistency.
- Serve immediately or keep the potatoes in the slow-cooker on the warm setting until serving.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste.
- This recipe can easily be halved or doubled depending on your needs.
- For a richer flavor, consider using half-and-half instead of milk.
