Ingredients

  • Reynolds™ Slow Cooker Liners
  • 3 cups boiling water
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cups Betty Crocker™ mashed potatoes
  • Gravy or chopped fresh parsley, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Place Reynolds™ Slow Cooker Liners inside a 5- to 6 1/2 -qt slow cooker bowl. Make sure that liner fits snugly against the bottom and sides of bowl and pull the top of the liner over rim of bowl.

  • 4
    Before serving, stir potatoes. Serve immediately, or hold in slow cooker on Low heat setting up to 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. If potatoes become too thick, stir in additional milk, about 2 tablespoons at a time. Serve with gravy or sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Serve food directly from the lined slow-cooker. Once your slow cooker cools, remove the liner and throw it away for easy cleanup.
  • tip 2
    Add your own special touch to delicious slow-cooker potatoes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh chives, canned French-fried onions or fresh grated Parmesan cheese.
  • tip 3
    Stove-Top Directions: In a 4-quart Dutch oven, heat water, milk and butter to boiling. Stir in sour cream and cream cheese until blended. Remove from heat. Add garlic salt, pepper and mashed potatoes (dry); whip with a fork just until moistened. If potatoes become too thick, stir in additional milk, adding about 2 tablespoons at a time.
