Make-Ahead Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes image

My mother gave me this recipe after looking online for something to suit her taste. This was what she came up with. I usually make this the night before Thanksgiving or Christmas and store it in the refrigerator in the insert of my slow cooker. It frees up my holiday to enjoy with family and is delicious!

Time 3h45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 pounds potatoes, peeled
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup half-and-half, or more as needed
2 egg whites, slightly beaten
⅓ cup chopped fresh chives
2 teaspoons onion powder
nonstick cooking spray
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¾ cup butter, divided

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain water and place pot with potatoes back over medium heat until potatoes are dry, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Mash potatoes using a hand mixer until smooth. Stir in cream cheese, half-and-half, egg whites, chives, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Blend well.
  • Spray a slow cooker insert with nonstick spray and add mashed potato mixture. Cut 1/2 cup butter into tablespoon-sized pieces and add to potatoes.
  • Cook on Low for 2 1/2 hours, stirring once or twice during the cook time. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup of butter 1 tablespoon at a time and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
