Preparation

Step 1

The easiest mashed potatoes you will ever make. Just throw it all in the crockpot and you’re set. Easy peasy!

And it’s just so easy to make right in the crockpot.

Simply throw everything into the slow cooker and when you’re ready, go ahead and blend it with a hand blender. Done and done.

Yield

The easiest mashed potatoes you will ever make. Just throw it all in the crockpot and you're set. Easy peasy!

Lightly coat the inside of a slow cooker with nonstick spray. Place potatoes, butter, garlic and 1/4 cup water into the slow cooker; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours, or until tender.

Add sour cream, Parmesan, milk, thyme, oregano, basil and nutmeg. Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, blend potatoes until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.

Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired.

Did you know that mashed potatoes are one of the most filling foods you can eat? Typically more carb-oriented foods are less filling than those that contain more fat or protein. But boiled potatoes are unique. It is believed that both the fiber (found mainly in the skin!) and the large size of its starch granule are responsible.
