Crock Pot Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes Recipe

If you are a reader of our Tammilee Tips Facebook Page you may have seen me talking about Thanksgiving recipes a couple of weeks ago. I know it is only September but for some reason Thanksgiving has been on my mind early this year. I set a goal of seeing if I could make the majority of Thanksgiving recipes we normally enjoy with a crock pot. Not all together of course because that would just be crazy 🙂

So far I have tackled a few of the main items and some sides. I loved hearing what everyone on the Facebook page normally serves for Thanksgiving. It was cool to see how the options differ around the country.

Today’s Crock Pot Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes Recipe would be perfect for Thanksgiving but since it is only September it also works great for any night of the week. Don’t worry I won’t overload you with Thanksgiving recipes for at least a week or 2. I promise to at least wait until October before I start sharing them.

Crock Pot Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes Recipe

INGREDIENTS

2 pounds red potatoes, washed (you don’t need to peel them)

4 tablespoons butter

½ cup sour cream (or you can also use plain Greek yogurt)

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley (or 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes)

½ teaspoon dried or fresh basil

¼ teaspoon dried oregano

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon pepper

¼ cup milk

Directions

Add potatoes to a lightly greased slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low or 5-6 hours on low.

When potatoes are cooked and fork-tender, add all remaining ingredients (let the butter melt for a couple of minutes).

Use a hand mixer or a masher to mash the potatoes. Serve warm.

We use either the Hamilton Beach Set ‘n Forget Programmable Slow Cooker, 6-Quart or Crock-Pot 5-Quart Slow Cooker for all of our crock pot recipes
