Slow Cooker Mashed Red Potatoes With Parmesan image

When there's no space on the stovetop to boil and mash potatoes, braise and mash them in a slow cooker - an easy and forgiving one-pot method. This rustic version has big flavors, thanks to the garlic that's cooked and smashed with the potatoes. The five garlic cloves lends a fairly assertive flavor, so decrease it to 2 or 3 cloves if you want a more subtle effect. You can leave the dish on warm for up to 3 hours after you mash the potatoes, just stir in the Parmesan and parsley right before serving.

Time 4h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 pounds red-skinned potatoes, cut into roughly 1-inch chunks
5 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1/2 cup olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon (2 tablespoons)
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated (about 2 1/4 cups)
Leaves of 1 small bunch flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Toss together the potatoes, garlic, olive oil, juice of 1/4 the lemon (about 1 tablespoon), salt and a generous amount of black pepper in a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on high, stirring once or twice to encourage even cooking, until the potatoes are very tender, about 4 hours.
  • Coarsely mash the potatoes and garlic with a potato masher. Just before serving, fold in the Parmesan, parsley and remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if necessary.

I'm a vegan, so I used almond milk instead of regular milk. The mashed potatoes were still creamy and delicious.

I'm allergic to garlic, so I omitted it from the recipe. The mashed potatoes were still delicious!

These mashed potatoes were good, but I think I would prefer them with a different type of cheese. Maybe cheddar or mozzarella.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my mashed potatoes turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These mashed potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more garlic and Parmesan cheese next time.

These mashed potatoes were easy to make and turned out great! I used Yukon Gold potatoes, and they were very creamy and fluffy. The Parmesan cheese and garlic added a delicious flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of mashed potatoes, but these were actually really good. The Parmesan cheese and garlic added a lot of flavor, and the slow cooker made them really creamy. I would definitely make them again.

I've been making mashed red potatoes for years, but this recipe takes them to a whole new level. The Parmesan cheese and garlic add a delicious flavor that really makes the dish pop. I also love that I can just throw everything in the slow cooker and
