These were pretty decent. I used red potatoes and may have overcooked them a bit. When I went to mash them up, they were really soupy. Luckily, as they cooled down, they firmed up a bit and were quite a nice consistency. But they were also this really ugly brownish color. Did NOT look appealing with the rest of the meal. Oh, I also kept the skins on. So I would be willing to try it again without the skins. But you can't beat the ease of slow cookers. It's so helpful when you have other things on the stove and in the oven. One less thing to worry about.

Very easy. I placed enough water in the pot to barely cover the potatoes. When the potatoes are tender, just drain off some liquid and mash. Good to make when the stove's busy with many other items.

I just came on here to try to figure out what I did wrong to the recipe. They just didn't try out right for me. Very bland. I added a lot more garlic to try to help it.

Since I didn't peel the potatoes, it was not pretty & white. But it tasted great! Lots easier than normal mashed potatoes.

I peeled about 3.5 lbs. of russet potatoes, and didn't use quite as much garlic powder as the recipe calls for. I also left out the milk and used 8oz sour cream and about 1 cup of shredded colby cheese (1/2 c butter). These mashed potatoes were the perfect consistency and SOOO creamy and flavorful. My entire family of picky eaters loved them! Reminded us of the "smashed potatoes" at one of our favorite restaurants! Thanks for sharing a great idea!

Super easy and absolutely wonderful! I increase the recipe to use 5 lbs of red potatoes. It is the perfect amount for Thanksgiving with my family.

Was just ok. I used 3 cloves fresh garlic and let it cook with the potatoes, then mashed it all up. Flavor and texture were alright, but not worth making again.

These worked great for me. I used minced fresh garlic, rather than powder. Adjusted butter, cream and seasoning at the end to taste. This worked great for an after church lunch with no fuss. I prepared the potatoes the night before and covered them with water.

These, in the words of Simon Cowell, were just "alright".

Mmmmm, this was very yummy! I added some fresh cloves of garlic. I sliced them and put them in with the potatoes while they were baking. Then I mashed them all together and it was very garlicky, just how we like it. Thanks for the crockpot recipe!

I tried this recipe today and it was GREAT! I added a little more garlic to my taste, and a little more water. Also, I had no butter in the fridge, so instead of the butter, I used sour cream. This recipe turned out great.

Excellent. Much denser than traditional mashed potatoes. I added several crushed whole cloves of fresh garlic which then got mashed into the potatoes.

I tried this recipe over the weekend and I really thought it was easy. I added a little bit more milk than what the recipe called for and I added some butter. They were great and I recommend trying this recipe!
