Cooking Instructions

Combine potatoes and water in slow cooker; dot with butter. Cover; cook on low 6 hours or high 3 hours or until potatoes are tender. How's that for vague? Potatoes are a judgement call.

Remove potatoes to large bowl. If you have a stand mixer, use that. Beat the potatoes on medium speed until fluffy. Add milk, sour cream, salt and pepper. Beat until smooth.
3

Stir in cheese, green onions, and bacon; cover. Let stand 15 minutes to allow flavors to blend and cheese to melt.

I cook for my family every Sunday. I love making soups in particular in my slow cooker during cold months. I think my pallette sets the standard and anyone who disagrees has a mutated pallette. My wife disagrees.

My wife made the best mashed potatoes with a hint of cheese. I have tried to replicate them. What’s great is you can make large batches and freeze them.

Can't decide between baked potatoes or mashed potatoes? How about both in a real potato "mash" up!

I like my mashed potatoes plain (see my Mashed Potatoes recipe) but once in a while I am up for a change and I make these mashed potatoes with Vermont white cheddar cheese. The recipe was published in the NYTimes by food writer David Tanis.

I love using my rice cooker for making a one bowl mashed potatoes. All the flavors blend together beautifully leaving me able to finish the rest of the meal. If you want to serve this with children in the house, just omit the wine. You'll still enjoy this wonderful mash.

Very easy to make and no need to add so many ingredients. No need for extra salt either. The butter is enough. Love it!
