Crock Pot Garlic Smashed Red Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Halve or quarter potatoes as necessary to make similar size pieces.
• Place in a 4 to 6 quart crock pot.
• Add garlic, oil, salt and water; mix well to coat all potato pieces.
• Cover and cook on HIGH for 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 hours or until potato pieces are tender.
• With a fork or potato masher, mash potatoes and garlic.
• Stir in cream cheese until well blended.
• Stir in enough milk for soft serving consistency.
• Serve immediately, or cover and hold in slow cooker on LOW setting for up to 2 hours.
• I have used a 3 ounce piece of cream cheese, cubed, in place of the tub of cream cheese and chives and onions.

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes and scrub lightly with a vegetable brush. Scrubbing too vigorously removes the skin, which is part of the appeal of red potatoes.
• Cut into 1/2 to 3/4 inch wedges. Dry with paper towels and set aside.
• Pour the olive oil into a large bowl and add the potatoes; stir to evenly coat the wedges.
• Sprinkle with the seasoning, and stir well.
• Pour the melted butter into the bottom of the crock pot, and add the potato mixture.
• Ste the crock pot on low, and allow to roast for 4-5 hours until fork tender.

Steps:

• Place garlic in the Crock Pot, then add potatoes. Top with butter, sprinkle on the salt, and add the water or vegetable broth.
• Cook on high 3 - 4 hours or low 8 hours. Potatoes and garlic should be very tender.
• Using a potato masher, mash potatoes a bit and then pour in 1/4 cup half-and-half. Continue mashing, adding additional half-and-half until potatoes are desired consistency. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
• Serve topped with additional butter if desired.

Steps:

• In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook the potatoes, garlic, and bouillon until potatoes are tender but firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, reserving water. In a bowl, mash potatoes with sour cream and cream cheese, adding reserved water as needed to attain desired consistency.
• Transfer the potato mixture to a slow cooker, cover, and cook on Low for 2 to 3 hours. Just before serving, stir in butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Toss potatoes, water, butter, salt, pepper, and garlic and put them into the crock pot.
• Cook the potatoes (covered, of course) for 4 hours on high or 7 hours on low in the crock pot.
• Add milk and mash the potatoes.
