Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Place the potatoes, water, and butter into a slow cooker.

Season with salt, garlic powder, and pepper.

Cover, and cook High for 4 hours.

Do not remove the excess water from slow cooker. This adds to the creamy texture.

Mash potatoes with a masher or electric beater, adding the desired amount of warm milk to achieve a creamy consistency.

Keep warm on low until serving.

My slow cooker has a warm setting which it automatically goes to once cooking time has been reached. Potatoes keep consistency for a couple of hours after mashing. Just keep the lid on the slow cooker and serve directly from there.
