Looking for a rich and delicious main to serve over top? Try these Juicy & Flavorful Smothered Pork Chops, this saucy tuscan Crockpot Chicken Recipe, or this Baked Tuscan Chicken Breasts recipe. I don’t know about you, but here in Manitoba it is comfort food season! And these Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes? So creamy, so luscious, and they couldn’t be easier to make. There’s nothing cozier than a big plate of these Mashed Potatoes with this Crockpot Whole Chicken and gravy, this Italian Beef or these Creamy Italian Instant Pot Chicken Breasts. They are luscious and flavorful on their own, but they’re also the perfect addition to any holiday dinner or weeknight meal! I love using Little Potatoes in this recipe because they come washed and ready to use! I chose Boomer Gold but any varietal will work just as well. Simply halve and toss into the slow cooker, then let them cook for a few hours until tender. This is great for school nights because I can get them started before the kids come home and chaos ensues! And it’s never been easier to get them to eat their vegetables 😉
Variations on these Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes:
Mashed Potatoes are one of the easiest recipes to customize, and there are so many great mix-in options that you can truly make them your own!
Browned butter Crispy bacon or bacon bits Sliced green onions or chives Fresh dill or parsley Any shredded cheeses: mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, Gouda, Gruyere, you name it! Jarred basil or sundried tomato pesto Cream cheese or boursin Buttermilk instead of milk or cream for an extra punch of flavor
Can I make these Mashed Potatoes on the Stove Top?
You can absolutely make these Mashed Potatoes on the stove top, but if you have a few hours, I definitely encourage you to make these in the crockpot because they are just so easy! You can make them on the stove top in much the same way as the recipe calls for: simmer with chicken or vegetable broth and seasonings until tender, then smash away and add in anything your heart desires (or nothing at all!).
