SLOW COOKER MASHED POTATOES WITH SOUR CREAM AND CHIVES



Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes With Sour Cream and Chives image

When stovetop and oven space is at a premium, the slow cooker can be a good friend. This hands-off, one-pot recipe makes creamy, slightly tangy mashed potatoes, and, unlike most mashed potato recipes, this one doesn't call for milk. The potatoes give off enough moisture as they braise, so just some extra butter and sour cream is enough to make them smooth. After mashing, the potatoes hold very well on warm for up to 3 hours: Just add the chives and give the potatoes a quick stir before serving.

Time 4h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into roughly 1-inch chunks

1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup sour cream
1 bunch chives, minced (about ⅓ cup)

Steps:

  • Toss together the potatoes, melted butter, salt and a generous amount of black pepper in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Cook on high until the potatoes are very tender, stirring once or twice if possible to encourage even cooking, about 4 hours.

SLOW COOKER MASHED POTATOES



Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes image

This recipe is from Taste of Home magazine. It's become my classic holiday mashed potato recipe. Everyone loves them! I love that I can make them ahead, instead of trying to mash potatoes, make gravy, and carve turkey or roast all at once! I can make a double batch early in the day, toss them into the crockpot, and by the time dinner is served, the potatoes are ready and waiting! I usually skip the Ranch dressing, since I don't think it would taste good with my gravy. Time doesn't include time to peel, cook, and mash potatoes (usually takes me around 30-40 minutes)

Categories     Mashed Potatoes

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs red potatoes, halved (I leave the peel on, but feel free to remove if you prefer)
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup heavy cream (or greek yogurt)
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons garlic powder (or 5 garlic cloves, roasted and diced)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In crock pot, add 2 cups of water and potatoes.
  • Cook on high for 1-2 hours or until potatoes are very soft to touch.
  • Water should be almost evaporated and potatoes will mash when gently touched. If you have a lot of water leftover, drain it off. If you have under 1/2 cup, go ahead and leave it. This will help keep your potatoes from over drying while waiting for dinner to be done- so you can make them ahead of time.
  • Add cream, butter, garlic and mash well using hand mixer or mashing utensil, right there in the crock pot.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Keep potatoes on medium or low for up to 2 hours, or until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for mashed potatoes because they have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and fluffy.
  • Pierce the potatoes: Before cooking the potatoes, pierce them with a fork or knife. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes are done cooking when you can easily pierce them with a fork. Be careful not to overcook them, or they will become mushy.
  • Drain the potatoes well: After the potatoes are cooked, drain them well in a colander. This will help remove excess water and make the potatoes creamier.
  • Mash the potatoes until they are smooth: Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Avoid using a blender or food processor, as this will make the potatoes gluey.
  • Add milk, butter, and seasonings to taste: Gradually add milk, butter, and seasonings to the mashed potatoes until you reach your desired consistency and flavor. Be careful not to add too much milk, or the potatoes will become too thin.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes hot: Mashed potatoes are best served hot, so make sure to keep them warm until you are ready to serve them.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooker mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a creamy and flavorful dish that will be a hit with your family and friends.
