How to Make Ranch Mashed Potatoes in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
I may or may not have sampled these Ranch Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes before I served them to my family after my 9 yr old’s volleyball practice. When I was talking to Michael about what I had going for our dinner, I mentioned these and as “possibly the perfect mashed potatoes.” They are that good. Creamy? Check! Flavorful? Check! Simple to make? Check! What more could you want?! My entire family loves them, and I hope yours does too!
You may notice that I do not have salt and pepper on the ingredient list. The reason for this is that I do not really think it needs it. The flavor of these mashed potatoes is amazing all on its own. However, if you want to add salt and pepper, you always can. I would recommend tasting them first before adding in salt though (a good rule of thumb with any food), because I think this recipe has the perfect amount of saltiness, and I would hate for you to accidentally make them too salty. Just a suggestion. ๐
