0 2 Published Oct 29, 2024 The thing I love most about this recipe is that there’s no need to boil or drain the potatoes. Just pop everything in your slow cooker, let it work its magic and a few hours later you’ll have perfectly soft potatoes ready to be mashed into creamy, smooth mashed potatoes! Using a slow cooker not only saves stovetop space, but it also keeps these potatoes warm until you’re ready to serve, which is such a game-changer especially when making a bunch of different recipes for the holidays. No matter how hard I try to get everything done at the same time, it never seems to happen, so having a way to keep at least one side dish warm while everything else finishes cooking is huge!
For Thanksgiving – These potatoes are a holiday staple and pair perfectly with dishes like turkey (try my air fryer turkey breast), sourdough stuffing, healthy green bean casserole, creamed corn and healthy cranberry sauce for a complete spread. Meatloaf or meatballs – For a cozy weeknight dinner, try these potatoes with lentil meatloaf or baked turkey meatballs. It’s a wholesome combo that everyone will love! With BBQ – Mashed potatoes are an awesome side for BBQ-style dishes. Pair them with slow cooker BBQ shredded chicken or grilled BBQ chicken.
When you’re ready to reheat, warm them gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk to bring back that creamy texture.
