Preparation

Step 1

1. In 4- to 5-quart slow cooker, place potatoes, chicken broth and butter.

2. Cover; cook on High heat setting 4 hours to 4 hours 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

3. Add remaining ingredients except milk. Mash, crush or smash potatoes using potato masher, or beat with electric mixer on low speed 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.


Russet or Idaho baking potatoes are both good picks for these easy mashed potatoes.

If you prefer, these potatoes can be cooked on a low heat setting for 8 hours.

REVIEWS:

I made this back in November for Thanksgiving dinner at church.. I didn't have any to bring back home and everyone loved it.

I've been making these for years and everyone loves them. I substitute vegetable broth for the chicken, and run the potatoes through the ricer for a perfectly smooth texture. Delicious!
