I felt that this recipe was very bland. Keeping the potatoes warm in the crockpot sounded like a great idea, but after a few hours, they really started to brown, and by the time we were ready to eat them, I didn't really want to serve them. Unfortunately, the taste didn't make up for their odd color. Sorry, I won't be making these again.

We do a thanksgiving buffet at out Lodge for about 100 people. These are absolutely the easiest & the best. We always get compliments on the potatoes. When you are cooking for a large crowd fixing the potatoes ahead of the day needed is a great time saver.

Yum!! We use seasoned salt instead of regular salt and always throw a clove or two of garlic in with the potatoes while they cook, but the method was awesome! I've never done potatoes so easily - I will never peel 10 or 20 pounds of potatoes for big dinners again, this is totally the way to go! And the slow cooker with the butter on top just made it all the better for my time.

Better yet is to let them slowly warm up in a crock pot. So on day 1,2,or 3 after mashing just store in your crockpot insert then you r ready to go .... 4 hours on low! You will never know they were made ahead of time. My family just doesn't lke reheating good food in the mw!

My mash potatoes are basicly the same. due to potatoes being differant, When I cook them, I add my butter first, (1/2 stick) for 5 to 8 potatoes. Once I whip them, I add my salt and pepper to taste. I will use milk, half and half, or cream to make them creamy and soft. My grandmother, and mother would add an egg before the milk/cream. I make enough to have leftovers so I can have Shepards pie another day.

A MILLION STARS!! This is the ONLY recipe I've found that really works. The potatoes were made the day before Thanksgiving, and at our T-day dinner they were light, fluffy, delicious. No gooey texture at all. My only change was after mixing in the butter, I put the potatoes in a lightly sprayed baking dish, covered them with foil and baked them at 350 for about 20 minutes. Seriously, these were perfect! Will be using this recipe ALOT!

I made these to take to my in-laws for an early Thanksgiving on Sunday. They were SO GOOD!! If I could give them 10 stars I would. The best mashed potatoes I ever made. Everyone loved them. Thank you Pam!

But wait......we like to add grated sweet onions in our taters. Just use a raw onion and grate over bowl/pot you are about to mash your cooked potatoes in. Use as much or as little as you like and then proceed with adding remaining ingredients. It makes these spuds the BOMB!
