Slow Cooker Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes

An easy way to fix mashed potatoes and they are packed with garlic and herbs and are amazing!

I love making side dishes in the crockpot at the holidays because it leaves your oven open for the big ticket items like prime rib, turkey, or ham. I was completely enamored when I saw the picture for this slow cooker potatoes recipe because they are mashed potatoes BUT the skins are still on! I love mashed potatoes with the skins still on. These potatoes are so wonderful and the garlic and herbs are so amazing in them. These are a must for any holiday spread.
