Mashed potatoes made in a slow cooker. This was my first attempt at cooking without a recipe - the potatoes turned out very moist and very flavorful. Be careful to not overcook.

This was okay...not great just okay. The flavor was kind of bland and we ended up dumping the leftovers instead of eating them. I thought the gravy mix would give it more of a kick but it didn't. This recipe did perk up my interest though for making potatoes in the crock pot...great idea...just need to tweak the recipe a bit for our family's taste preferences. Thanks for sharing the idea.

Followed the recipe (for 10 servings). It was tasty. I did add some shredded moz cheese and used white pepper instead of black pepper. The family LOVED it! This is easy and worked well with our Christmas family meal. Read More
