And these Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes?
So creamy, so luscious, and they couldn’t be easier to make.
There’s nothing cozier than a big plate of these Mashed Potatoes with this Crockpot Whole Chicken and gravy, this Italian Beef or these Creamy Italian Instant Pot Chicken Breasts.
They are luscious and flavorful on their own, but they’re also the perfect addition to any holiday dinner or weeknight meal!

I love using Little Potatoes in this recipe because they come washed and ready to use! I chose Boomer Gold but any varietal will work just as well.
Simply halve and toss into the slow cooker, then let them cook for a few hours until tender. This is great for school nights because I can get them started before the kids come home and chaos ensues!
And it’s never been easier to get them to eat their vegetables 😉

Can I make these Mashed Potatoes on the Stove Top?
You can absolutely make these Mashed Potatoes on the stove top, but if you have a few hours, I definitely encourage you to make these in the crockpot because they are just so easy!
You can make them on the stove top in much the same way as the recipe calls for: simmer with chicken or vegetable broth and seasonings until tender, then smash away and add in anything your heart desires (or nothing at all!).

Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Little Potatoes halved
- 3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup half and half (or milk or cream)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons sliced chives
- salt and pepper to taste
US Customary – Metric
Instructions
Place halved potatoes in a 2.5-4 quart slow cooker.
Add the broth, salt and pepper and stir.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until tender (the outer potatoes will cook more quickly, so one stir half way through is a good idea but not necessary).
Add half and half and butter and mashed until desired consistency is reached. Stir in chives and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Can I do this with bigger potatoes cut up in small chunks or is that going to cause this to taste like skins? Any second recommendations? I like to buy 10 lb bags of potatoes for cheap lol. I know the smaller potatoes are more expensive.

You definitely can! You may want to peel them, or half peel them before adding them to the slow cooker

I do it with big potatoes ( the white ones) and I don’t peel them, full skin on and it’s delicious.

These were the easiest mashed potatoes ever and so delicious, we served it with some grilled chicken and the mashed potatoes were gone first.
