No snarkiness intended here, but why would you want to make mashed potatoes in a crockpot?

I have no clue.

Re: Crockpot Mashed Potatoes

A crockpot is supposed to save you time and work. This type of exacting recipe drives me crazy. I just peel some potatoes, boil them up and mash with butter and milk. Then I put them in the crockpot if they will not be served immediately.

This seems like a lot of trouble just to make simple mashed potatoes. However, sometimes, like Thanksgiving I will keep the extra potatoes warm in my slow cooker in case they are needed.Just have it already warmed up and buttered to prevent sticking and after you fill the dish your taking to the table - pop the rest in the slow cooker.When you come back to refill the bowl they are nice and warm.

Well, that is such a great simple idea I'm ashamed I never thought of that myself! My family loves mashed potatoes! Thanks, Happy Housewife!
