How to Make Creamy Mashed Potatoes for Two in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
The flavor of these Creamy Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes for Two is just incredible. This would be the perfect side dish for so many different main dishes. From chicken to pork to beef, these mashed potatoes would be a great addition to your dinner table that will give you generous portions (think restaurant large size portions).
When I made these, I did not peel my petite red potatoes. If you prefer to not have the potato skins in your mashed potatoes, you can just peel all your potatoes. Just keep in mind that peeling the potatoes will add to your prep time. Whether you peel your potatoes or not, I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my loved ones and I do!
