Crock Pot Cheddar Mashed Potatoes Recipes

CREAMY CROCK POT MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into quarters (or eighths if the potato is larger) and place in a large pot with your garlic and bullion cubes.
• Cover everything with water and bring to a boil.
• Boil for around 15 minutes, until your potatoes are tender.
• Drain and place a large bowl and mash.
• Mix in your cream cheese and sour cream until well blended.
• Place potato mixture in a lightly greased crock pot and cook on low for 2 hours.
• Mix in your butter, salt and pepper right before you serve.

SLOW-COOKER MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Toss the potatoes, butter, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add 1 cup of water, then cover and cook on high until the potatoes are tender, about 4 hours. (The potatoes might have browned lightly in spots but that is okay.)
• Remove the lid and add the sour cream and 1 1/2 cups warm milk to the potatoes. Use a potato masher to smash the potatoes until they are mostly smooth. If the potatoes need to be thinned out, stir in the remaining 1/2 cup warm milk. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Garnish with chives.

SLOW COOKER CHEESY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel (if desired) the potatoes and cut into bite sized chunks
• Pour enough broth over the potatoes to cover completely
• Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours
• Once the potatoes are tender carefully drain the water using the slow cooker lid or by pouring into a colander
• Add the cream, butter, cheese, salt and pepper
• Mash with potato masher until desired consistency

CROCK-POT MASHED POTATOES WITH CREAM CHEESE

Steps:

• Place cut potatoes into a slow cooker and pour broth over the top of the potatoes.
• Cook potatoes on high setting for 4 and 1/2 hours or low for 6-7 hours. Potatoes should be fork tender.
• Spoon some liquid out of the crock, if desired.
• Mash potatoes with a fork or potato masher and add sour cream, cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, salt and pepper to the crock pot.
• Use beaters to mix just until a creamy consistency.
• Top with chopped chives or parsley, if using, and serve with extra pats of butter.

SLOW COOKER LOADED MASHED POTATOES (WITH OPTIONAL BACON)

Steps:

• Add potatoes to a 3-quart or larger slow cooker. Dot with the butter and sprinkle on the salt. Pour water or vegetable broth over the top. Cook on high for 4-5 hours or low 7-8 hours, or until potatoes are fork-tender. Turn off the slow cooker, remove the lid, and let cool for a few minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup half-and-half and sour cream. Mash and stir with a potato masher until well-combined. Add more half-and-half for a thinner consistency, if desired. Stir in 1 cup cheddar cheese and most of the scallions, reserving some of the green slices for garnish. Taste and add additional salt and some pepper if desired.
• Transfer to a medium-size casserole dish or serving bowl, piling the potatoes lightly. Add additional butter, if desired, and top with the remaining cheddar cheese and the remaining scallions. Pass with the bacon in a separate bowl so diners can top with bacon if desired (or leave it off if they prefer).
