"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 pounds red potatoes, washed and chopped into 2-inch pieces (you don't need to peel them)
4 tablespoons butter
½ cup sour cream (or 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:
Directions:
1. Add chopped potatoes to a greased slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low or 5-6 hours on low.
2. When potatoes are cooked and fork-tender, add all remaining ingredients (let the butter melt for a couple of minutes).
3. Use a hand mixer or a masher to mash the potatoes. (see note) Serve warm.

NOTE: This recipe can easily be doubled for large groups - just increase the cooking time by 1-2 hours.
Some people complain of "gluey" potatoes after mashing. Read below, please.


The best tip to avoid a gluey potato is to not over mash them. It is best to mash (or smash) by using a hand potato masher. I personally love the more "organic" texture of hand-smashed potatoes!
