SLOW-COOKER MASHED POTATOES
The slow cooker takes an already-simple classic recipe and makes it even easier. Simply toss cut russet potatoes, butter and a touch of salt and pepper into a slow cooker, turn it on low and walk away for a few hours. When you return, the potatoes will be perfectly tender and ready to be mashed. Best of all, the slow cooker traps all the potato flavor, making these spuds extra potatoey.

Tips:
- Use the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for mashed potatoes because they have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth.
- Peel and cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Use plenty of liquid: The liquid will help the potatoes cook and also prevent them from sticking to the pot.
- Season the potatoes well: Salt, pepper, and garlic are all classic seasonings for mashed potatoes, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by piercing them with a fork. If the fork goes in easily, the potatoes are done.
- Mash the potatoes until they are smooth: You can use a potato masher, a ricer, or a food processor to mash the potatoes.
- Add butter, milk, and sour cream: These ingredients will help make the mashed potatoes creamy and rich.
- Serve the mashed potatoes hot: Mashed potatoes are best served fresh out of the pot.
Conclusion:
Mashed potatoes are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like them simple or loaded with toppings, mashed potatoes are a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion.
