    The easiest Mashed Potatoes Ever

    Mashed potatoes are the ultimate comfort food! I think potatoes could be a food group all to their own. AND they would be at the top of my list. I mean really there is not anything much better than dreamy and creamy mashed potatoes.

    Any way you make them they are just the epitome of home. Making them in the crock pot makes them so easy. They can cook while you are busy about your day. Come home to them all ready to mix to perfection.

    Somehow the combination of the butter and chicken stock slow cooking lends to the best consistency for the Creamiest Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes.

    However, I don't turn down potatoes in any form. Cheesy Potato Casserole, Skillet Garlic Parmesan Potatoes, and Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes are some of my favorites too!

    How to make Creamy Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes

    • Wash, peel, and cut potatoes.

    • Drain potatoes and return back to slow cooker.
    • Add cream cheese, heavy cream or milk, remaining stick of butter, and beat or mash until smooth and creamy.

    Variations and Substitutions

    I really love these potatoes just as is, but it is fun to mix things up every once in a while!

    • Loaded Potatoes - add in cheddar cheese, chives, and of course crumbled bacon.
    • Garlic Parmesan - add in fresh minced garlic and parmesan cheese.
    • Broccoli Cheddar - throw in some cooked broccoli florets and cheddar.
    • Potato Salad - stir in sliced boiled eggs, a little mayo, yellow mustard, dill relish or sliced pickles, and some garlic powder. And green onion or onion powder if your family likes it! Delish!

    The perfect Mashed Potatoes for the Holidays

    These potatoes are really perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter. You start them in the morning when you get up and they are ready to to mix/mash for afternoon meal or adjust the time for whatever suits your family gathering time.

    It's such a help so that you are not boiling water while you are working on the gravy or pulling out your ham or turkey for carving. I have found this to be a godsend and you really cannot beat the decadent and creamy flavor!

    At this point it is time to dive in and enjoy these most amazing slow cooker mashed potatoes! Grab a spoon and gobble them up y'all!

      Creamy and delicious potatoes is what needs to be on every holiday table. Actually, we'll eat this all year long! So smart to use chicken stock for that extra boost of flavor!
