Their creamy texture and rich, savory flavor are definitely a must-have whether you’re planning your holiday menu or Sunday dinner menus. We know that your time is precious, so we created the best slow cooker mashed potatoes recipe to save you time without skimping on flavor, so you can focus on the main course (I see you Grilled Turkey<\/a> and Dairy Free Green Bean Casserole<\/a>) or simply enjoying time with friends and family.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Love mashed potatoes<\/span><\/strong> – try our Cheesy Mashed Potatoes recipe<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yukon gold potatoes are our favorite, as they already have a subtle buttery flavor, which is only enhanced with seasonings and additional butter and cream. They also absorb less water than other potato varieties, which keep your mashed potatoes from getting gummy. If Yukon gold potatoes aren’t an option, feel free to use russet potatoes. These will yield a bit fluffier mashed potato than the rich scoops that you’ll experience with Yukon gold potatoes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Step 1:<\/strong> Use a large cutting board and sharp, kitchen knife to cut your potatoes into large chunks and place in your slow cooker.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Step 2<\/strong>: Add the chicken broth<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Step 3<\/strong>: Then add your garlic powder and onion powder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Step 4<\/strong>: Cover and let cook on HIGH heat for 3-4 hours or on LOW heat for 6-7 hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Step 5<\/strong>: Remove cover and add salt, pepper, milk, butter, Greek yogurt, sour cream and ranch dressing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Step 6<\/strong>: Use a potato masher to mash everything together until the consistency is smooth (alternatively you can use a stand mixer or hand mixer). Taste and adjust the salt level or any other ingredients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n If you’re making your mashed potatoes ahead of time, here are some fool-proof ways to keep your mashed potatoes warm without getting gluey or stiff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
