creamy make ahead mashed potatoes (crock pot)
Let's face it, the mashed potatoes are a must at thanksgiving but are inevitably the last minute side dish ... Instead of waiting for the water to boil, using the stove when you should be making gravy, try my hassle free slow cooker recipe. I wouldn't dream of making mashed potatoes for a crowd days before and re-heating them! I was so excited to figure this one out and have many raves these are the best mashed potatoes. Hope they become a family favorite for thanksgiving or anytime you want to serve a crowd.
