Slow Cooker Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes–these are my favorite mashed potatoes. Cubed potatoes are cooked for a few hours in your slow cooker with garlic cloves and bay leaf. Then they’re mashed with butter and buttermilk for ultimate creaminess and flavor.

    Can your peel these ahead and freeze them? Or should you cook and then freeze?

    I made these today for Sunday dinner but they didn't turn out as well as yours did. After less than an hour in the crock-pot I noticed the potatoes on top were turing an ugly brown–I guess because potatoes oxidize. I used the cup and a half of water and it didn't cover the potatoes up. Should I just cover the potatoes with water the next time?

Hi, I’m Karen. I know that dinner time can be less than relaxing. Busy schedules and cranky kids and a hundred other things can lead to weariness when it comes to putting dinner on the table. I can help! I make homemade, family-friendly slow cooker and Instant Pot dinners and share the recipes with you.
