Ingredients:
- 5 lbs sierra gold potatoes or red potatoes, diced with peel
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup butter, cut into chunks
- 1 tablespoon salt, plus
- ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 1/3 cups milk, warmed
Instructions:
- Place the potatoes, water, and butter into a slow cooker.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover, and cook on High for 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.
