As you can tell from my blog, I love to use the crock pot. I registered for this mini crock pot after visiting my friends and they had one for hot dips. But after we did our first party with a hot dip, I started to wonder what I else I could use this crock pot for. Enter mashed potatoes!
From pinterest, I noticed some recipes of crock pot mashed potatoes. I figured it would work in the mini crock as well to make a smaller portion for just me and my husband.

| Cut up two medium potatoes and put it in the crock. Add about a quarter cup of chicken stock and couple of pats of butter and a clove of garlic per potato. |

| In this pic you can see how tiny my crock pot is. |
 |
| I was very worried about how little liquid was in the crock but it worked! |
 |
| After two hours on low, just mash up the potatoes and garlic (or you can remove the garlic if you like). |
 |
| I added a small dab of cream cheese and a dollop of light sour cream to the mashed potatoes. |
 |
| I like my potatoes chunky, so this was perfect for me! If you want a smoother potato, add another half an hour of time. |
Recipe from
Budget Savvy Diva (I adapted this to one pound of potatoes):

- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 cup butter, cut into small cubes chunks
- 1 1/4 cup light sour cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup milk, warmed
- 2 ounces of light cream cheese ( really makes a difference)
