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.

- Prick the sweet potatoes: Before cooking, prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork. This will help them cook more quickly and evenly.
- Cook the sweet potatoes until they are tender: The sweet potatoes should be cooked until they are tender when pierced with a fork. This usually takes about 1 hour on high or 2 hours on low.
- Mash the sweet potatoes: Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, mash them with a fork or potato masher. You can also use a food processor to get a smoother texture.
- Season the sweet potatoes: Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper to the mashed sweet potatoes. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper.
- Garnish the sweet potatoes: Before serving, garnish the mashed sweet potatoes with grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, or crumbled bacon.
