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!
