    Can a good bowl of mashed potatoes change the world? Maybe not, but they can change your day! Or maybe even your week! I'm still thinking about how rich and creamy these were several days later. I made 2 ½ pounds of potatoes for 4 people and they were gone. Like crock scraped clean, it's possible somebody licked it out clean 🙂  Not kidding. You should make these potatoes too! They are way to easy to be this delicious...but somehow it works!

    We used these to top off the most fabulous Slow Cooker Shepherd's Pie! Try them both!! Totally worth it! Together these make a rich, delicious hearty meal that should make everyone in the family happy. Because really? Who doesn't like Shepherd's Pie?!? Or you can use these as a side for any of your other favorite main dishes. Or as your main dish. Go ahead, I won't tell 🙂

    In the past I've rarely made mashed potatoes outside of Thanksgiving dinner and possibly one other time during the year when I was feeling especially ambitious. We had these for dinner three nights ago and I'm already planning on making them again this weekend. I'm wondering if I should make 5 pounds this time.....

    I used red skinned potatoes but you could use white or gold potatoes too. I don't recommend using russet potatoes as they have a drier, lighter texture and these potatoes are intended to be creamy. Very creamy. Excuse me while I wipe the drool from my keyboard as I think about these potatoes again.

      Your mashed potatoes sound DeLish. The one ingredient I don't use is heavy cream. I don't use milk products, only lactaid products.
      Is there something else that can be use?

        I think you could just sub out the Lactaid Whole Milk instead!

      Yum! I've never thought of making mashed potatoes in the crockpot. Aren't mashed potatoes just the best though? So comfy. 🙂 Also, your pictures are lovely!

        Thanks so much!! Using the crockpot just takes so much of the hands on time out of it so I'm much more willing to make them more often! 🙂

            You can leave them on the "keep warm" setting for several hours and they should stay at a safe temp.
