Wow, until recently I have never prepared mashed potatoes in the slow cooker.
I was in for a real surprise.
The taste totally different than traditional, boiled potatoes for mashing.
The depth of flavor is greater. I would say more like when you roast potatoes. They are definitely not boring.
For another great side dish try our Cheddar Bacon Risotto
Stir in a little bit of herbs, top with butter or a spoon of gravy and you have a new potato side dish to add to your repertoire.
Let me know if you try them and what you think.
