4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Weekend Mashers

Ingredients

• 3 pounds of russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1 cup of whole milk (or heavy cream for a richer texture)
• 1 teaspoon of salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions

1. Begin by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into evenly sized chunks, about 1.5 inches thick.
2. Place the potato chunks into the slow cooker, distributing them evenly across the bottom.
3. Scatter the pieces of butter over the potatoes.
4. Add the cup of whole milk to the slow cooker.
5. Sprinkle the teaspoon of salt over the mixture.
6. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
7. Once cooked, use a potato masher or a hand mixer to mash the potatoes right in the slow cooker.
8. Taste your mashed potatoes and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or a splash more milk as needed.
9. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and enjoy immediately.
