Creamy Slow-Cooker Mashed Potatoes:

Happy week-of-Thanksgiving, 
everybody!!!!!!!!

I have a super easy mashed potato recipe for you this week,
that could help make your Thanksgiving dinner a breeze! 
And delicious!

Crockpot Mashed potatoes can sometimes get a bad rap, and rightfully so, because they can tend to be, well.....gross!
Plus, they aren't always easier. I mean, they cook in the crockpot, but you still have to do a lot of work before and after, and whereas it frees up some of your stove top, and you don't have to stand there making sure they don't boil over; that doesn't necessarily make them "so much easier."

Until now.

These really are super easy, and actually taste good too!!!

Not every one likes the skins left on their mashed potatoes, and you can certainly peel them, if you want.
But, that does take more time and work, and the flavor is so, so good when you leave them on. 

So whether you make these for your Thanksgiving dinner, or just simply any dinner in the middle of the week,
I hope you enjoy them!!!

2 lbs. red potatoes, washed and cut into quarters 
(I prefer the skins still on, but that is optional)

4 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup milk

1 tablespoon minced garlic

2 teaspoons dried parsley 

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

dash of salt and pepper

Place potatoes in a slow cooker that has been coated with cooking spray. 

Cover and cook on Low for 5-6 hours, or High for 2-3 hours 

(no need to add water or anything...they'll be just fine!).

Once the potatoes are fork tender, add the butter and stir lightly, just until it begins to soften. 

Add the remaining ingredients. 

Using a hand mixer, mash potatoes until everything is well combined,

and potatoes are as smooth or chunky as you want them. 

Serve!

Note:
-If you don't want your mashed potatoes to have that much seasoning/flavor, you can certainly cut the seasonings in half, or leave out what you don't want. I would leave in the garlic, and some salt and pepper. But other than that, you can do whatever you prefer!
