Slow Cooker (no peel) Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes. One of America’s favorite comfort foods.

The problem is, if you’re in the mood for comfort food, you’re probably not in the mood to peel a bunch of potatoes and do all that other tedious stuff it takes to make an amazing batch of mashed potatoes.

This could really be a problem. Such a deceiving little dish. Looks so simple and yet, it’s really not.

Unless…

Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes

You are fortunate enough to sense the need for comfort (or just the need for mashed potatoes) about four hours before you need them, and you have a slow cooker. (Also known as a Crock Pot, but that’s a trademarked name so I try to remember not to use it all Willy Nilly like that.)

If so, you’re in business. If you can cut a potato and drop it into a dish, you’re well on your way to creamy, comfy, deliciousness. (Have hubby stop by the grocery store and pick up a rotisserie chicken and viola! Dinner!)

      I was surprised at how good they were and how easy!
      I’ll see about lining up but I haven’t blogged for a while so I don’t have any new recipes.

    I have not peeled potatoes since 1969 when I had the first mashed potatoes that the hostess left the skins on. I have not tried the potatoes in the slow cooker since most recipes call for peeling. In fact if I have to peel the potatoes I just pick another recipe. I guess you get the idea I do not like to peel potatoes.

    YUM! When I see potatoes, I have to stop and investigate further. Lol! I’m an Idaho girl. How did I not know I could make such an easy peasy and delicious mashed potato dish? I can’t wait to try this out!
