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.

5 pounds medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 to 2 cups milk, warm
2 tablespoons sliced chives

Steps:

  • Toss the potatoes, butter, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add 1 cup of water, then cover and cook on high until the potatoes are tender, about 4 hours. (The potatoes might have browned lightly in spots but that is okay.)

This is a great way to cook mashed potatoes without taking up space on the stovetop. It's also an excellent way to keep mashed potatoes warm before serving.

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Categories     side-dish

Time 5h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch chunks
1 head garlic, halved
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
3/4 cup half-and-half
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
Chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine the potatoes and garlic in the slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth over the potatoes, cover and cook on high 3 to 4 hours, or on low 6 to 8 hours.
  • Remove the potatoes and drain, reserving the cooking liquid and removing the garlic. Return the potatoes to the slow cooker.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan with the half-and-half over low heat. Remove from the heat and add to the potatoes along with the cream cheese and liberally season with salt and pepper. Use a potato masher to mash, adding the reserved cooking liquid to the potatoes if necessary for the desired consistency.
  • Keep warm before transferring to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped chives.

Tips:

  • Use russet potatoes: They're the best type of potato for mashed potatoes because they're starchy and fluffy.
  • Peel and cube the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Add plenty of garlic: It's the star of this dish, so don't be shy.
  • Use chicken broth or milk: Either one will add flavor and creaminess to the mashed potatoes.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Mash the potatoes until they're smooth and creamy: You can use a potato masher, a ricer, or even a food processor.
