These were possibly the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. Sorry for the picture captions. I am feeling really weird tonight!
One of the nicest thing about red potatoes is that you do not have to peel them.
Crock Pot Garlic Red Mashed Potatoes
INGREDIENTS:
1 T Olive Oil
2 Pounds Red potatoes (about 10) cut into quarters
4 T Butter
1/4 C Sour Cream (Greek Yogurt will do - plain)
4 Cloves Fresh minced garlic
2 T Dried Parsley (divided)
1/8 C or more FRESH Basil if you can, if not,
BOOOO ... then like 1 T dried basil
1/4 tsp dried Oregano
Salt to taste
Tons of black pepper
1/4 C milk
DIRECTIONS:
- Coat the slow cooker with Olive Oil
- Put the cooked potatoes in the cooker on high and cover
- Cook for 5-6 hours on Low or 2-3 hours on High
- I was going to stir them but forgot and all was ok
- Check them for fork tenderness - they should be about a half hour away from being ready to mash
- Add the Butter and let it melt
- Add the rest of the ingredients holding out 1 T of the Parsley and stir
WE ARE GOING TO BE SO GOOD!
- Cover again and Let it sit for about another 30 minutes
- By this time they should be ready to mash
WE ARE SO READY!!!!
- Mash with a potato masher or with a hand mixer
I AM SO FINE!
- Turn the slow cook setting to warm and serve garnished with the rest of the Parsley when you're ready!
OH! WE'RE READY!
