Notes
- Slow Cooker Loaded Mashed Potatoes: Add quartered potatoes to the slow cooker/crock pot, then add about ¾ cup liquid (water or chicken/vegetable broth is best). Close the lid and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours. Remove potatoes and follow the remaining directions.
- Stove Top Loaded Mashed Potatoes: Using a larger stock pot/pasta pot, fill with water and bring to a boil. Add potatoes, cut into small cubes (about 1 inch), and boil for about 15 minutes. Strain and then add to large mixing bowl and continue with remaining directions.
