These are seriously the easiest and creamiest mashed potatoes I have ever made! And with Thanksgiving right around the corner I thought it was the perfect recipe to share.
Bonus, making the potatoes in the crock-pot frees up space on the already busy stove top AND it’s super easy to keep them warm till you are ready to serve. So when you wake up early to throw the turkey in the oven, toss the tators in the crock-pot and you are good to go!
I used russet potatoes, but I think any potato would work. I also left the skins on which is completely optional. I added sour cream and but you could definitely add some cheese, green onions, or fresh chopped parsley. Really anything you like on your mashed potatoes.
