Crock Pot Garlic Mashed Potatoes

An easy way to make garlic mashed potatoes. I like to leave the skins on. I've found that a pastry blender works great for mashing potatoes; it seems even better than a masher.

• Ready In: 4 hrs 10 mins
• Serves: 8-10

Ingredients

• 2  lbs baking potatoes, cubed (or 1 lb baking potatoes and 1 lb red potatoes)
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 2  tablespoons butter
• 1 1⁄4 teaspoons salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4  garlic cloves, crushed or 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1  cup milk

Directions

1. Toss potatoes, water, butter, salt, pepper, and garlic and put them into the crock pot.
2. Cook the potatoes (covered, of course) for 4 hours on high or 7 hours on low in the crock pot.
3. Add milk and mash the potatoes.
