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!
