SLOW COOKER MASHED RED POTATOES WITH PARMESAN
When there's no space on the stovetop to boil and mash potatoes, braise and mash them in a slow cooker - an easy and forgiving one-pot method. This rustic version has big flavors, thanks to the garlic that's cooked and smashed with the potatoes. The five garlic cloves lends a fairly assertive flavor, so decrease it to 2 or 3 cloves if you want a more subtle effect. You can leave the dish on warm for up to 3 hours after you mash the potatoes, just stir in the Parmesan and parsley right before serving.

CROCK POT MASHED RED POTATOES

Steps:
- In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook the potatoes, garlic, and bouillon until potatoes are tender but firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, reserving water.
- In a bowl, mash potatoes with sour cream and cream cheese, adding reserved water as needed to attain desired consistency.
- Transfer the potato mixture to a slow cooker, cover, and cook on Low for 2 to 3 hours.
- Just before serving, stir in butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or red potatoes are best for mashing, as they have a creamy texture and hold their shape well.
- Cook the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are tender but not mushy. Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot over low heat to dry out any excess moisture.
- Use a potato ricer or masher: A potato ricer will give you the smoothest mashed potatoes, but you can also use a potato masher. Be careful not to over-mash the potatoes, as this will make them gluey.
- Add milk, butter, and seasonings: Start with a small amount of milk and butter, and then add more to taste. Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder or other herbs and spices.
- Serve immediately: Mashed potatoes are best served immediately, while they are still hot and fluffy.
Conclusion:
Mashed red potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect mashed red potatoes every time.
