Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes have to be one of the ultimate comfort foods, rich and creamy with a nutty undertone and a pat of butter slowly melting on top! Making them in your slow cooker is a super simple way to prep them, transport or keep them warm.
Equipment
- 5-quart slow cooker
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1-½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut into them into small cubes, about 1 to 2 inches each.
- Place the cubed potatoes in the bowl of a 5-quart slow cooker. Add the kosher salt, the pepper and the nutmeg.
- Pour in the half and half along with the chicken stock and add 2 tablespoons of the butter. Stir to blend together.
- Cover and set the slow cooker on high for 2 hours or until the potatoes are very tender.
- When the potatoes are done, cream the potatoes with a potato masher. Check for seasonings, adding more if needed.
- Top with the remaining tablespoon of butter.
