I loved mashed potatoes, but during big events like Christmas or Easter, we never seem to have enough burners. The potatoes take forever and I hate to let them get cold. So we have learned that our crockpot is the perfect solution. Delicious mashed potatoes that stay warm and out of the way! If you want a delicious recipe that doesn’t sacrifice taste, try your mashed potatoes in a slow cooker! You’ll be impressed!
