Garlic Mashed or Smashed potatoes are so delicious and go well with many dishes.
You can prepare these Crock Pot Garlic Mashed Potatoes with little effort all in the crockpot.
The next time you make Garlic Mashed Potatoes try using your crock-pot. It is easy and has less clean up because everything is prepared in the same pot, the crockpot. I even mash the potatoes and serve them from the crock-pot. I used five pounds Red Potatoes, real butter, crushed garlic, and an eight-ounce container of Cream Cheese with Chives and Onions to make these Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Any potatoes will work, I just prefer red potatoes. Most of the time, I will leave the skin on the potatoes to get more nutrients out of them.
This basic recipe was from Fix-It and Forget-It Recipes for Entertaining. I added Cream Cheese with Chives and Onions and used 5 pounds of potatoes instead of the 2 lbs in the original recipe. I also used crushed garlic instead of granulated garlic.
