Do you know that my Mom pretty much made our entire Thanksgiving Dinner by herself and she didn't even forget any of our favorites like homemade rolls, stuffing from scratch, layered jello salad, green been casserole, homemade pies and so on and so on? All I brought was Sweet Potato Casserole and a banana cream pie. Don't ask me how she did it?
Why am I talking about old news? Because she made these AMAZING potatoes that were done in the crockpot. She told me she was going to try these and I was a little skeptical, but they turned out so good and everyone kept commenting on how good the potatoes were. They are creamy and flavorful and so stinkin easy. Guess What? They have Sour Cream in them - oh yeah!
I couldn't wait to get my hands on that recipe. Potatoes are one of my favorite things to eat. I love that you don't have to worry about keeping these warm while you finish dinner, because you can just leave them in the crockpot until ready to serve! You can make these as chunky or as creamy as you like! I bet you never boil potatoes again after trying this recipe!
Ultimate Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes
5 Lbs. baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 1/2 c. chicken broth
1/4 c. butter, cut into chunks
1 c. sour cream
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 - 1 c. milk, warmed
Place potatoes in a 4 to 5 quart slow cooker. Add the chicken broth and butter. Cover and cook on High heat setting for 4 - 4 1/2 hours or until potatoes are tender. Add remaining ingredients, except milk. Mash potatoes using a potato masher or beat with an electric mixture until well blended. Do not overmix. Stir in enough milk for desired creamy consistency. Cover and keep warm on low or warm heat setting until serving time, up to 2 hours. Stir before serving. These can also be cooked on low for 8 hours. Yield: about 20 (1/2 cup) servings.
Jenn's Notes: Make sure you allow these enough time to cook, so they will mash properly. I also stirred the potatoes every once in a while. I personally can eat more than 1/2 cup of potatoes, so make sure and adjust the serving size as needed. So good!
