I made these for thanksgiving. I kinda estimated the amounts and I used whatever white potato they had at the store. Other than those changes, these were good mashed potatoes and its nice to let them sit in the crock pot and free up a space on my stove and not be mashing at the last second when I'm trying to finish dinner. Just be careful about how hot your cooker is - they tend to burn/dry out around the edges if its too hot and its not stirred.

Very good potatoes but rather heavy vs light and fluffy. 4 stars for ease, originality and time management. Especially loved the idea of the terry cloth submitted by a reader. Makes perfect sense!

This recipe was very good. I used no fat sour cream and low fat cream cheese and only used 2 tablespoons of butter at the end but it tasted great. I also used the kitchen towel over the crock pot to let the steam through but not let the water back in, great idea! Next time I'm going to try to incorporate cheese into the recipe for a little extra kick. Definitely will make again.

YUM! For me, this is the perfect side dish for a big meal with all the trimmings. It is so nice to have one less thing to do at the last minute when you're trying to get a big meal on the table. These are absolutely delicious. I made the recipe as-is, other than adding a bit more garlic. HINT: if you want to save time on cleanup, invest in a box of slow-cooker liners. The inside of the cooker gets pretty ugly with this recipe - it was very satisfying to be able to pick up that crusty bag and pitch it!

I have been doing this with mashed potatoes for years. I also do the gravy in a small crockpot, and side dishes in various size crockpots. All the work is done early, and the food will be nice and hot all the way thru the meal. I even set up a table for them on the patio for barbeques. I don't like lukewarm food that should be served hot and this keeps it all hot, even for the people that go for seconds!

I've been making my "Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes" this way for several years..just make up the potatoes, place them into a baking dish and freeze! It's great for a dinner party, since you don't have to fuss with potatoes on the day of the event; just pop the dish into the oven, and the potatoes come out fresh as the day you made them! I use Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, but that's just my personal preference..:) Enjoy!

Had a surprise party for my parents and increased the recipe to 40 lbs. and everyone loved them. Like most, used no butter and they did not need it. Thanks for making my life easier!
