I'm over the moon that I can enjoy this dish without being trapped in the kitchen

Growing up, mashed potatoes were a staple in my household. My mom would always make them for special occasions like holidays or family gatherings. As I’ve grown older and started my own family, I’ve taken on the responsibility of continuing this tradition. However, with a busy schedule, I don’t always have the time to make mashed potatoes the traditional way. That’s why I’ve started using my slow cooker to make Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes. Not only is it convenient, but the potatoes turn out incredibly creamy and flavorful!

There’s something special about mashed potatoes that always remind me of home. They’re warm, comforting, and delicious. I love that this recipe allows me to create that same feeling for my family, without having to spend hours in the kitchen. The best part of this recipe is that it can be customized to your preferences. Whether you like your mashed potatoes chunky or creamy, you can easily adjust the amount of liquid or mash them to your desired consistency.

Ingredients:

- 3 lbs Russet potatoes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Peel and chop the potatoes into 1-inch pieces and place them in the slow cooker.

2. Add the chicken broth and stir to combine.

3. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours, or until the potatoes are tender.

4. Once the potatoes are done, add the butter and sour cream to the slow cooker.

5. Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency. If the potatoes are too thick, you can add more chicken broth to thin them out.

6. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir to combine.

7. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired.

This is the perfect recipe for anyone who loves mashed potatoes but doesn’t have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. It’s also a great recipe to save for holidays and other special occasions. Your guests will be impressed with the creamy and flavorful potatoes, and they’ll never guess how easy they were to make!
