How to Prepare Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes:

Follow these simple steps to create the perfect slow cooker mashed potatoes:

1. Preparation: Begin by peeling and chopping 5 pounds of Russet potatoes. Place them in your slow cooker and add 1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth.
2. Cooking: Set your slow cooker to high and cook the potatoes for 4 hours, or opt for low heat and cook them for 7-8 hours until they are tender and easily mashed.
3. Mashing: Once the potatoes are cooked, add 1/2 cup of sour cream, 1/4 cup of milk, and 1/4 cup of unsalted butter to the slow cooker. Mash the potatoes to your desired consistency, ensuring that all the ingredients are well incorporated.
4. Flavor Infusion: Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 8 slices of crumbled cooked bacon, and 1/4 cup of chopped green onions. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, enhancing the flavors with each bite.
5. Final Touches: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low, allowing the cheese to melt and the mixture to heat through for an additional 15-20 minutes. Give the mashed potatoes a final stir, adjusting the seasoning if needed.
6. Garnish and Serve: Serve the loaded mashed potatoes hot, garnished with extra cheese, bacon, and green onions for an irresistible presentation that will impress your guests.
