  • 5 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes
  • Cooking Spray
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 teaspoons Salt Divided
  • 1 stick Salted Butter Divided
  • 1 clove Garlic Smashed
  • 1/8 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 Green Onion Diced
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley Minced

Instructions
 

  • Rinse and cut potatoes. Spray a 6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Add in the potatoes, water, garlic, 1/2 stick of butter, salt and pepper. Mix well and cook on high for 4 hours.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, add the green onions and parsley. There will be water in the pot--no need to drain it.

  • Serve immediately or place lid on the mashed potatoes until ready to serve.
