Slow Cooker Country Chive And Ranch Smashed Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Toss together the potatoes, melted butter, salt and a generous amount of black pepper in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Cook on high until the potatoes are very tender, stirring once or twice if possible to encourage even cooking, about 4 hours.
• Add the sour cream and remaining 3 tablespoons butter and mash the potatoes with a masher until they are smooth and creamy. Just before serving, fold in the chives and season again with black pepper. Taste and add more salt only if necessary.

Steps:

• Toss the potatoes, butter, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add 1 cup of water, then cover and cook on high until the potatoes are tender, about 4 hours. (The potatoes might have browned lightly in spots but that is okay.)
• Remove the lid and add the sour cream and 1 1/2 cups warm milk to the potatoes. Use a potato masher to smash the potatoes until they are mostly smooth. If the potatoes need to be thinned out, stir in the remaining 1/2 cup warm milk. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Garnish with chives.

Steps:

• Place potatoes, butter, salt, pepper, and water in a large slow cooker.
• Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.
• Remove lid and mash the potatoes with a masher or beaters, mixing in the milk.
• Stir in chives
• Keep the slow cooker on "warm" setting while you serve them!
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into fourths or bite size pieces.
• Spray crock pot with cooking spray place potatoes in slow cooker with water and cook for 5-6 hours on low.
• mash potatoes with potato masher or fork.
• Stir in potatoes topping, ranch mix, and chives.
• Stir in half and half until potatoes are soft consistency.
• salt and pepper to taste.
• Optional: you can use milk or lactose free milk in place of half in half in this recipe.
• You can also do this on the stove top to save time.

Steps:

• Place garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle on the salt. Pout the vegetable broth over the top.
• Cook on high 3 - 4 hours or low 8 hours, until the potatoes and garlic are tender.
• Mash the potatoes! You can either use a potato masher or a hand mixer. I don't recommend a food processor or stand mixer because they can overmix the potatoes and give them a starchy consistency. Mash the potatoes a bit, then pour in 1/3 cup of the almond milk. Continue mashing/mixing, adding additional almond milk until the potatoes are your desired consistency. Mix in the chives.
• Taste and add additional salt and some pepper, if desired, to taste.
• Scoop into a bowl and top with more fresh snipped chives and a pat of vegan buttery spread, if desired.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, 1/4 cup butter, salad dressing mix and parsley; stir in mashed potatoes. Transfer to a 3-qt. slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours. Top with remaining butter.
