Half and half, a healthy splash of vegetable stock, and the sour cream and garlic if you like (and rosemary or/and parsley, fresh) are the keys to awesome potatoes. Adds an addtional 5 seconds. Time well spent.

Sour cream is very important for any left over potatoes. If you stir in sour cream before refrigerating the potatoes reheat without being lumpy. (We just stir it in with the butter and milk.) :)

I’ve occasionally had trouble when I freeze mashed potatoes…they like to turn pretty liquidy. I think if you stir some sour cream into them before freezing, they tend to do better.

Do you only put in the potatoes or do you add water, butter, milk or anything else?

We peel our potatoes, slice them then put them in the crockpot on high. Then they
are done whenever everything else is and you just have to mash them. If you are
going to put themon all day use med.

You can also make your potatoes earlier in the day and keep them warm in the crockpot on low. Many of my Thanksgiving items are crockpot friendly-I use one for gravy, one for mashed potatoes, and one for stuffing.
