  • Method: Slow Cooker
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 34 lbs red potatoes (can use russet potatoes instead), peeled or unpeeled
  • 1/2 cup bone broth
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
  • 4 tbsp ghee
  • 1.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt (more or less, to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (more, or less, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Add the potatoes and the bone broth into the slow cooker and cover
  2. Cook on low for 6 hours, or high for 2-3 hours
  3. Once done, add in the remaining ingredients and use an immersion blender or potato masher to mash them until they are a creamy consistency. You could leave them chunky if you wish, but otherwise just continue until they are almost a whipped like texture
  4. Serve with gravy, or any potato toppings like chives, bacon bits, or additional ghee

Notes

  • This is a basic recipe for slow cooker mashed potatoes – add in any additional dried spices such as rosemary, thyme, or onion powder.
  • When mashing, add a bit more almond milk if you’re finding them too dry to mash into a creamy consistency. Only add a few tablespoons at a time.
  • This recipe is easily doubled, but the amounts of liquid may need to be adjusted so add the doubled amounts slowly as you’re mashing.
