Ingredients

  • 5 pounds Russet or Yukon Gold Potatoes
  • 3/4 cup butter, cut into small cubes divided
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt (I use the Lawry's brand)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 3 to 4 Tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Peel and then cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Rinse cut potato pieces in cold water.
  • Grease a large (6 to 8 quart) crock pot with non-stick cooking spray. Place the cut potatoes into the crock pot. Season with the salt and pepper. Pour in the 3 cups water, and then dot the tops of potatoes with only 1/4 cup of the butter.
  • Turn crock pot on high. Cover with lid and cook potatoes for at least 4 to 5 hours. Potatoes are ready when they are fork tender.
  • Carefully, drain the hot water from crock pot, keeping the cooked potatoes inside. (Or you can drain in a colander and then put potatoes back in the crock pot).
    Mash potatoes with a potato masher until smooth. You can also use an electric hand-mixer.
    Add the remaining butter, cream cheese and milk. (add milk depending on how thin or thick you like your mashed potatoes)
  • Continue to mash until there are no lumps left, and all the butter and cream cheese is combined. Season potatoes with more salt and pepper, if desired. Serve and enjoy!

  1. You can freeze mashed potatoes also. I do it all the time. They are watery when you defrost; just dump out the water before you mix them up again. Thanks for all your great recipes! I made the Lemon Chicken in the Crock Pot last night and we are having leftovers for lunch today. So yummy!

  2. I’ve never thought of doing mashed potatoes in the crock pot but what a great idea! I love that it frees up a burner on the stove and the cream cheese makes these sound delicious!

  3. Love this idea! Can u cook these overnight for 12 hrs & get Good results? Thinking of doing this for the holidays. Thanks for any info if anyone has done this. : )
