Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes

 Homemade mashed potatoes are pretty much the best thing in the world. Potatoes are easily my favorite food and if you have not tried my recipe for the best mashed potatoes you need to do that asap. Those potatoes I usually save for the holidays because when it comes to dinner time I don’t have time to sit and watch a stove for hours. I feel like I spend so much time making our main dish that when it comes to a side, I just don’t want to put in all the effort! I turn to my slow cooker once again to save the day and made these slow cooker mashed potatoes! These Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes make the perfect side dish.
