How to cook deliciously - Slow-Cooker Mashed Potatoes
1. Stage
Scrub and peel potatoes, then cut into 1/4"-thick slices. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Cover with cold water, stirring potatoes with your hands as bowl fills with water. Drain potatoes, then return to bowl. Repeat process once or twice more until water runs clear. Transfer potatoes to a slow cooker.
2. Stage
In a small pot over high heat, bring salt and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil. Pour boiling water over potatoes. Thinly slice 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, then place over top of potatoes. Press a sheet of parchment over top of potatoes, then carefully tuck parchment down around the edges. (The potatoes should be fully covered.)
3. Stage
Cover and cook on high until potatoes are tender, about 4 hours. Discard parchment. Reserve about 1/2 cup cooking liquid, then drain potatoes and return to slow cooker.
4. Stage
Add sour cream and remaining 4 tablespoons butter to slow cooker, then mash potatoes until smooth. Add cooking liquid, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, to loosen potatoes to desired consistency; season with salt and pepper.
