Slow Cooker Skinny Mashed PotatoesNo really, it’s me! I swear! The girl who usually posts recipes for mashed potatoes loaded up with cream and butter and, well, everything else loaded with cream and butter. And really for the most part I’m all about the idea of just eating the real thing and enjoying every bite and just moderating how much I eat of it (or at least trying). But I also got to thinking that it sure would be nice to have mashed potatoes on more than just a special occasion and when I do I don’t really need any guilt to come along with them. So I challenged myself to come up with a recipe that even this mashed potato snob would love and I promise you that you will love these too!

Slow Cooker Skinny Mashed PotatoesThese come out to less than 150 calories per serving! You would never know if it I hadn’t told you, I promise. These do not skimp on flavor AT ALL! They are light, fluffy, creamy and flavorful.

Slow Cooker Skinny Mashed Potatoes-2The ingredients? Besides the potatoes it’s just some whipped cream cheese (chive flavor) and chicken broth. Salt and pepper them a bit and that. is. it. Simple. My new favorite way to cook.

Slow Cooker Skinny Mashed PotatoesI often mash up my potatoes by hand with a masher but for these I chose to use my hand held mixer. It kept them light and airy and helped them to be smooth and creamy even without the addition of cream. Load them up with your favorite fresh chopped herbs and you will be thinking of reasons to make mashed potatoes with every meal!

      Thanks! The cream cheese gives it just enough richness without loading it down. Turned out great!
