Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes halved (I leave the peel on, but feel free to remove if you prefer)
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon sea salt plus more to taste
- ½ fresh ground pepper
- ½ cup Tbsp heavy cream or Greek yogurt
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp garlic powder or 5 garlic cloves diced and sauteed
Instructions
- In crockpot, add 2 cups of water and potatoes.
- Cook on high for 1-2 hours or until potatoes are very soft to touch.
- Water should be almost evaporated, and potatoes will mash when gently touched. If you have a lot of water leftover, drain it off. If you have under 1/2 cup, go ahead and leave it. This will help keep your potatoes from over drying while waiting for dinner to be done- so you can make them ahead of time. For perfectly creamy potatoes use a potato ricer to cream the potatoes.
- Add cream, butter, garlic and mash well using hand mixer or mashing utensil, right there in the crockpot.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Keep potatoes on low for up to 2 hours, or until ready to serve.
