V's Do-Ahead Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes

16 servings 

Serving size: 192 g

Calories per serving: 224

5 lbs sierra gold potatoes or 5 lbs red potatoes, diced with peel 

1 cup water 

1 cup butter, cut into chunks 

1 tablespoon salt

1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder (optional) 

3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 

1 1/3 cups milk, warmed 

Directions: 

Place the potatoes, water, and butter into a slow cooker.  Season with salt, garlic powder, and pepper.  Cover, and cook High for 3-4 hours.  Do not remove the excess water from slow cooker. This adds to the creamy texture. 

Mash potatoes with a masher or electric beater, adding the desired amount of warm milk to achieve a creamy consistency.  Keep warm on low until serving. 

Potatoes keep consistency for a couple of hours after mashing. Just keep the lid on the slow cooker and serve directly from there.
