Mediterranean Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes Recipes

SLOW-COOKER MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Toss the potatoes, butter, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add 1 cup of water, then cover and cook on high until the potatoes are tender, about 4 hours. (The potatoes might have browned lightly in spots but that is okay.)
• Remove the lid and add the sour cream and 1 1/2 cups warm milk to the potatoes. Use a potato masher to smash the potatoes until they are mostly smooth. If the potatoes need to be thinned out, stir in the remaining 1/2 cup warm milk. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Garnish with chives.

SLOW COOKER MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, butter, and seasonings until smooth. Stir into mashed potatoes until well blended.
• Transfer potatoes to slow cooker. Make an indentation in the middle of the potatoes and place a pat or two of butter in the indentation. Cover and heat on LOW for 2-4 hours. Do not heat for much longer than 4 hours, as it will affect the texture.

MAKE-AHEAD SLOW COOKER MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain water and place pot with potatoes back over medium heat until potatoes are dry, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Mash potatoes using a hand mixer until smooth. Stir in cream cheese, half-and-half, egg whites, chives, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Blend well.
• Spray a slow cooker insert with nonstick spray and add mashed potato mixture. Cut 1/2 cup butter into tablespoon-sized pieces and add to potatoes.
• Cook on Low for 2 1/2 hours, stirring once or twice during the cook time. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup of butter 1 tablespoon at a time and cook for an additional 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Peel back a single corner on your Simply Potatoes and set tray into microwave for 3 minutes.
• While you wait for the potatoes to warm and soften in the microwave, grab a nonstick skillet and set on the stove top over medium heat. Rehydrate 1 cup of sun dried tomatoes in a 1/4 cup of white wine vinegar.
• While both are cooking, open and drain one can of black beans.
• Only let the sun dried tomatoes cook on the stove top for a maximum of 5 minutes.
• After the potatoes are done heating, remove them from the microwave and empty them into a larger serving bowl.
• Mix in the 1 cup of sun dried tomatoes and white wine mixture into the potatoes with 1/2 a can of black beans.
• Before serving, fold in 1 cup of goat cheese and 1 tbsp of cumin of potato mixture.
