Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes
This recipe was inspired by the annual dilemma of coveted space on the stovetop around holidays. Having a side dish that can be prepared in the slow cooker reduces kitchen traffic and most importantly allows you to spend more time with loved ones than over a stove burner!

Notes
