Slow Cooker Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes have to be one of my favourite side dishes for pretty much any meal! There is just something magical about those creamy, buttery warm mashed potatoes! Usually I make mashed potatoes on the stove top and although it’s easy, it’s even easier in the slow cooker! You just need to throw the potatoes and the garlic in the slow cooker in the morning and you have perfect mashed potatoes by dinner time! Mashed potatoes on the stove top only take about 30 minutes to make but that’s usually right when you are pulling the roast out of the oven and fixing the other sides so it’s a real relief to be able to remove one side dish from the chaos! You can throw the potatoes in the slow cooker in the morning, add the butter, cream, etc. and mash them a few hours before the meal leaving them in the slow cooker on the keep warm setting so they are completely done long before you start the final preparations of the meal! No matter how you mash these slow cooker garlic mashed potatoes, they are sure to be a hit at your next meal!
