Instructions

  1. Place the potatoes, water, and butter into a slow cooker.
  2. Season with salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
  3. Cover, and cook High for 4 hours.
  4. Do not remove the excess water from slow cooker. This adds to the creamy texture.
  5. Mash potatoes with a masher or electric beater, adding the desired amount of warm milk to achieve a creamy consistency.
  6. Keep warm on low until serving.
  7. My slow cooker has a warm setting which it automatically goes to once cooking time has been reached. Potatoes keep consistency for a couple of hours after mashing. Just keep the lid on the slow cooker and serve directly from there.
