    Crockpot Garlic and Cheese Mashed Potatoes

    Crock Pot Garlic and Cheese Mashed Potatoes

    Remember when I said that I thought that baking potatoes in the crockpot was one of the dumbest things I had heard...until I actually tried it? Well - I now feel the same way about making mashed potatoes in the crockpot! It is my new favorite way to make mashed potatoes!

    By making mashed potatoes in the crockpot, you clear up room on your stove top and eliminate having the pot of boiling water (and the splashing over the sides, creating a mess of your stove).

    I like to make these with red potatoes and leave the skin on to get the nutrients that are in the skin, but this recipe can easily be made with "regular" potatoes with the skin removed. It took a few times for my kids to try the mashed potatoes when they could see the red "chunks" in the potatoes, but now they are used to it.

    When I get around to the "mashing" portion, I just mash the garlic right in with the potatoes, but you can remove it if you don't like too much garlic. I almost believe the opposite - that you can never have too much garlic - but that's me (and my husband feels the same way so we will BOTH have "garlic breath")!

    Anyway - to make them, you will need:

    mashed potatoes ingredients

    • 3 lb Red Potatoes
    • 6 cloves Garlic
    • 1 1/2 cup Chicken Broth
    • 1 cup Heavy Cream
    • 1/4 cup Butter
    • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan
    • 1 tsp Salt
    • Fresh Ground Black Pepper

    Making them is easy!

    mashed potatoes process

    Simply wash and chop your potatoes and add them to your crockpot along with the chicken broth

    After about 6 hours (on low - or 3 hours in high), you are going to drain the liquid (but hold on to the liquid - don't dump it yet) and add the potatoes back to the crockpot and get to mashing them!

    Heat up your cream and butter and add that to the potatoes along the parmesan. Add some of the reserved cooking liquid if you want them a little "looser". Then just keep them in the crockpot on "warm" until ready to serve!

    Enjoy!
