Stress-Free Holiday Cooking: Crockpot Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Stress-Free Holiday Cooking: Crockpot Mashed Potatoes Recipe
Welcome back to the kitchen, friends! As we enter mid-November, the holiday season is in full swing, with family gatherings and feasts galore. Cooking those big dinners can be stressful with many moving parts and intricate timing. But fear not, because today we have a fantastic solution for you: Crockpot Mashed Potatoes!

In this video, we'll show you how to make delicious, stress-free mashed potatoes in a slow cooker or crockpot. This method takes the pressure off your stovetop and allows you to focus on other dishes while the potatoes cook to perfection over a few hours.

We start with a mix of yellow and red waxy potatoes, which are both affordable and flavorful. You can use any stock of your choice (chicken, beef, vegetable, or even water), ground black pepper, salt, butter, and garlic to season the potatoes. The slow cooker does the rest of the work for you.

After a few hours of slow cooking, your potatoes will be tender and ready to mash. You can choose to leave some chunks or whip them into a creamy consistency, depending on your preference. Feel free to add more dairy, such as sour cream, cream, or cream cheese, and experiment with additional flavors like grated cheese to make them your own.

So, this holiday season, take advantage of your slow cooker to make the perfect mashed potatoes without the stress. It's a game-changer for busy cooking days. Watch the video to see the whole process, and make sure to subscribe for more stress-free holiday cooking ideas.

Thanks for joining us, and we'll see you again soon!
