Thank you for this post! I typically cook my potatoes in a pot and mash them when everything is just about ready. My stovetop is always crammed with pots and pans at this point. This makes it so much easier, literally put the potatoes in the crockpot and forget about them! It’s Easter here right now and I can’t wait for these sprouts to be done! 🥔 🥔 Happy Easter!!!!! 🐣🐇🐰
UK Calling! I have two slow cookers - 1.5 litres & 3 litres. Mashed potatoes area great favourite more so with this recipe. I look forward to trying more of your recipes in 2022..
This looks like a great recipe. I cook Thanksgiving for a crowd so would probably be doing 3 slow cookers (yes I have that many). My suggestion is this: for planning and shopping purposes, please give the approximate number of medium potatoes for the ratio you have used in this recipe. And, will they stay nice on the warm setting for several hours until serving time?
I make them the day before on the stove. I put them in the crockpot and refrigerate. Put the crockpot on the next day and add 8 oz of broth and mix. Keeps them from drying out and no one can tell the difference. Less things to do the day of the event.
I’m wondering how long will the potatoes stay a good consistency and not dry out on warm. I’d like to make this early in the morning for a 5 pm meal. I suppose I could add some warm milk if they start getting dry.
High for 3 to 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours. It may take longer or shorter cook until they are fork tender. The complete recipe is in the description below
I’m not sure I would since there is already sour cream in the mashed potatoes but you definitely could. That’s just my personal opinion. Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for watching!
Can you use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth? I have a few family members who are vegetarian, Not sure if veggie broth would still work just as well?
It is more than enough I made this last year for a crowd of 10. But I also made other sides. This was such a hit my family is asking me to make it again for thanksgiving this year
I would definitely use a hand mixer or immersion blender but if you do decide to do that make sure you add the milk or cream Inn at the very end after the potatoes are already mashed otherwise they could get gummy. In fact I mash my potatoes first right after they're done cooking before slowly folding in the rest of the ingredients but again leaving the milk /cream for the very end. The slow cooker is also great her large holiday dinners especially if you're slow cooker has a " warm" setting because it doubles as a buffet warmer.? I like this lady and her Southern Charm but that ugly Valance behind her needs to go.
Can you be anymore vague?? You didn't say what temperature you set the crock pot to or how long you set it for. AND you didn't mention any of the spices. SO IT'S ON TO THE NEXT VIDEO...
Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours and low for 6 to 8 hours, until potatoes are fork tender and ready to mash. Add salt, pepper, sour cream. Gradually add milk that has been warmed in microwave. Mash with a potato masher or electric mixer until smooth and cream. Turn slow cooker on keep warm until ready to serve
Thank you for this post!

My potatoes are in the crock pot now! I can't wait til they're done! I love the idea of adding chicken stock for the extra flavor!
Yay! I’m excited for you to try them! Thanks for watching!
How did they turn out? Anything you’d add/change?

You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching!

Easy and good.
I need to do this! How long in the crockpot and on high or low?
Oh wow this looks awesome! Thanks!
I will be making them in mine today! I hope they come out good!
I think you will love them! 😊
Looks delicious Kristi
🌹 Another great video!
Looks yummy
I usually use the hungry jack recipe for make ahead. Can I cook in crockpot?? Thank you.
I’ve never used hungry Jack recipe for mashed potatoes so I really don’t know. Sorry. 😞
Can you make these two days in advance?
From the uk, never cooked potato’s for mash in stock, only ever used water
How do you keep from burning the bottom of the potatoes in the crockpot?
After you cook them in the broth and mashed them just keep the slow cooker on warm.
I will be making these mashed potatoes for a Sunday dinner soon! Who’d have thunk it? Slow cooker mashed potatoes!!!
Yay! 😊
you do not mention slow cooker heat settings or required time to cook
@@MichaelDurso-d3l the recipe with instructions is in the description box below the video.
I’m wondering how long will the potatoes stay a good consistency and not dry out on warm. I’d like to make this early in the morning for a 5 pm meal. I suppose I could add some warm milk if they start getting dry.
They will stay good on warm for a few hours and your absolutely correct you can always add some milk if they start to dry out.
How long do you put the slow cooker on for? And can I do half reg potatoes and half sweet potatoes?
Cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours or until the potatoes are all tender. And yes you can use regular and sweet if you want. 😉
@@ChefKristiThymetoCook thank you for your help
How long and what temp did you make these in?
High for 3 to 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours. It may take longer or shorter cook until they are fork tender. The complete recipe is in the description below
Do you think it’d be tasty to add buttermilk in place of the regular milk?
I’m not sure I would since there is already sour cream in the mashed potatoes but you definitely could. That’s just my personal opinion. Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for watching!
@@ChefKristiThymetoCook thank you! Happy Thanksgiving!!
How big of a crockpot do you need?
Mine is a 5 quart
Can you use the same amount of water instead of chicken broth?
Yes you sure can. 😊
Can I use yukon gold potatoes?
Yes! 😊
How long do you cook them and high or low?
Can I reheat mashed potatoes in the slow cooker? Like if I make them the day before?
You can but you will need to add some additional milk to smooth them out.
@@ChefKristiThymetoCook thank you! and about how long do you think it will take reheating 5 pounds. And at west setting would you recommend?
@@lilbogdan3848 it will take a couple of hours and you can put it on high.
Can you use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth? I have a few family members who are vegetarian, Not sure if veggie broth would still work just as well?
Yes you can use vegetable broth or water. 😊
Would this work with the potatoes skin on ?
Yes it should! Thanks so much for watching!
How many potatoes are being used in this recipe?
The recipe is in the description box below 👇. 😉
@@ChefKristiThymetoCook Thank You
Why do you add chicken broth?
It gives good flavor to the mashed potatoes but you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to.
How long do you let them cook for?
And raw potatoes right??
This is my first year cooking for my family of five this doesn't look like it's enough for five people
It is more than enough I made this last year for a crowd of 10. But I also made other sides. This was such a hit my family is asking me to make it again for thanksgiving this year
