I hate making mashed potatoes. It’s a pain to peel them and then boil the water, wait for them to cook, drain them, mash them, etc. It’s too much time and too many pots and pans. I was excited to see that you can make mashed potatoes in the Crock-Pot and set out to work on a recipe. We use this recipe for Thanksgiving – it makes 5 lbs of mashed potatoes and they can stay warm for some time. We serve them on the buffet line right from the Crock-Pot!
Ingredients
- 5 lbs potatoes (I like Yukon Gold), peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1.5 cups chicken broth (I use low sodium)
- 1/4 cup butter. cut into pieces
- 1 cup sour cream
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup milk or cream
Instructions
- Put potatoes, broth and butter in a large Crock-Pot and cover and cook on high for 4 hours.
- Add sour cream and salt and pepper to taste.
- Beat with mixer until creamy.
- Stir in milk/cream until desired consistency is reached.
- Cover and keep warm on warm setting until served, up to 2 hours.

I’ll have to try this. I’ve never made mashed potato’s by cooking the potatoes in the crock pot.
This looks good. i got a crock pot this Christmas and have been looking for recipes. Looking forward to trying this, Thnaks!
Yum! Sounds wonderful. This is going to be good with pork chops.
That sounds delicious!!!
This recipe is one that i had not seen before. Thanks for the idea!
This is definitely something I could make. These sound really good! Thanks for sharing
Definitely looking forward to trying this one out. I love homemade mashed potatoes but don’t always have town to make them so loved finding a recipe that I could use to make them in my crock pot. Can’t wait to see how they compare! Thank you.
