Notes

  • Be careful not to overmix potatoes or they can become gummy. It is best to mash gently and stop once creamy and smooth.
  • You can add a crockpot liner to the slow cooker to make clean up easier.
  • When cubing the potatoes, try to make all roughly the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Russet potatoes can also be used to make mashed potatoes, keeping in mind that the texture may vary slightly.
  • Make dairy-free by using unsweetened soy milk and a dairy-free butter substitute. It is best to choose brands that you enjoy the taste of as they will influence the overall flavor of the potatoes.
  • Turn into loaded garlic mashed potatoes by serving alongside shredded cheese, diced jalapenos, chives and crumbled bacon bits.
