So easy, love not having to stand over stove watching them incase they boil dry or burn!
Has anyone tried this with just normal spuds like kennebecs/moonlights etc
Thank you 🙂
We have lots of mash potato options on site so you can use whatever potato you prefer 🙂
so no water with the potatoes?
As Laura asked, No water used?
Correct.
How much water do you use to cook them ? I’m assuming you just cover the potatoes with water then drain and add in milk and butter after they are cooked ?
None Demmi
I’m only cooking for one. Would this work in a 1.5 litre slow cooker?
Just scale down potatoes if you need to in order to fit them in 🙂
Definitely odd not adding water to do mash but it worked and tasted really good.
Why I haven’t I cooked mash potatoes in the slow cooker earlier? omg so fluffy and delish <3
I did the 4 hours cooking time and they were cooked to perfection however I did add 2 cups of water what I drained prior to mashing (my own personal preference as I find potatoes cook better with a little liquid) after cooking I made the mash how I normally would have either by butter/milk or the sour cream/chives packet mix which is awesome.
