    Cup of Yum

Notes

  • Cut all the potatoes to the same size to ensure that they all cook the same.
  • If you prefer chunky mashed potatoes, then don't over mash them. We like ours really creamy and fluffy.
  • We find using a potato masher is fine, however if you like really smooth potatoes then you can use a potato ricer.
  • Add salt and pepper at the end to season, that way you can taste them and add more if you prefer.
  • You don't have to peel the potatoes, and leaving the skin on will save even more time. Cooking them low and slow will break down the skins, but still keep the fibre.
  • When you are stirring the potatoes, if you find that they are drying out then you can add a little more stock. Different slow cookers will cook at different rates.
