How to make mashed potatoes in a crock pot (slow cooker) with NO liquid:

1. Grease your slow cooker. I prefer coconut oil but use what you like.
2. Cut up your potatoes into cubes and add to the pot. Use red potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes for best results.
3. Cook on low for about 5 hours.
4. Add your ingredients and mash or blend. Don't overmix!

How to make mashed potatoes in a crock pot (slow cooker) with liquid:

1. Cut up your potatoes into cubes and add to the pot. Use red potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes for best results.
2. Add chicken broth & butter. About 1.5 cups of broth for 5 lbs of potatoes. Just adjust the amount of liquid if you have more or less potatoes. Add in about ¼ cup of butter/coconut oil.
3. Cook on high for about 4-5 hours
4. Add favorite add-ins then mash in the pot.
