Slow Cooker Cheddar Bacon Mashed Potatoes

One of my favorite things to make in my slow cooker is mashed potatoes. It’s just so easy. You add in some water and some potatoes and turn it on and walk away. I love not having to worry about the water boiling over on the stove.

These slow cooker cheddar bacon mashed potatoes are fancy potatoes that would go perfectly with a ham or turkey dinner. Or you can just eat them straight out the pot. I won’t judge.

What Slow Cooker Did You Use?

To make Slow Cooker Cheddar Bacon Mashed Potatoes I used my 6 quart oval Kitchenaid slow cooker.* I love this slow cooker (you can see me talking about it in a video here). It cooks low and evenly. I love the medium heat choice because most slow cookers that I’ve seen only have the option of cooking on low or high. If you’re going to buy just one slow cooker, this is the one that I recommend.
