I searched through many fabulous looking recipes on this site, but I needed something very basic, traditional and that I could cook overnight in a crock pot with minimal prep in the morning. I served this as a side dish at a lunch for 20 people and there were no leftovers! Important: since they are basic mashed potatoes I did serve them with gravy (along with fried chicken, biscuits and green beans. Hope you enjoy! Ingredients:
7 lbs potatoes, peeled and quartered |
1 tablespoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon white pepper (important to use white pepper only) |
1/2 cup butter |
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream |
1/4 cup half-and-half (more or less to the consistency of your liking) |
1/4 cup butter (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. Place peeled and quartered potatoes in a large crock pot and fill with water.
2. Cook on low over night for 8 hours.
3. In the morning drain potatoes (if desired save some potato water for gravy base) and mash with remaining ingredients.
4. Dot with extra butter.
5. Transport crock pot (if necessary) and cook on low for 3 hours, stir and serve immediately.
