Everybody knows that Thanksgiving is one of the busiest meals of the year--there's too much going on in the kitchen to give full focus to a side of mashed potatoes. The crockpot comes to the rescue, along with an electric mixer to whip up creamy, buttery potatoes in a snap.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  2-5 hrs

ingredients

7 pounds potatoes
10 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
milk, butter, salt and pepper as needed (see note)

directions

Wash and peel the potatoes; cut them into 3/4 to 1-inch cubes. Add to crockpot and cover with water, add the salt and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours.

When the potatoes are fully tender (and the turkey is done roasting), use a slotted spoon to scoop potato chunks into an electric mixer bowl. Mix well (until potatoes are smooth and creamy) before adding remaining ingredients (to eliminate the chance of lumps). Then add the desired amounts of butter, milk, salt and pepper.

cook's notes

This recipe is so adaptable (depending upon the final amounts) that I'm just providing general guidelines, you'll have to finalize the amounts of butter, milk and seasoning to make your mashed potatoes just the way you like 'em.
