These potatoes are delicious and rich.
They’re definitely not the kind of mashed potatoes that you’d make and eat every week.
You could make them every week, though, because they are very easy to prepare.
But then, you’d probably gain ten pounds between now and Easter.
These Crock Pot mashed potatoes are part of my easy Thanksgiving menu.
| Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes |
Ingredients
- 5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
- 8 oz low fat cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz low fat sour cream
- 5 oz evaporated skim milk (1 small can)
- 1 small onion, diced
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Milk & butter
Instructions
- Add potatoes to a large pot of water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash.
- In the meantime, saute onion in a small skillet until onion is translucent. If you skip this step, the onions will be crunchy in your finished potatoes.
- In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, evaporated milk, onion, salt, and pepper until blended. Add to mashed potatoes and mix well.
- Transfer mashed potato mixture to the crock pot. We use a 6-quart crock pot, and the potatoes totally fill it.
- Can be cooked on low up to 4 hours. Re-moisten with milk and butter if needed.

These sound delicious!! I have a recipe that uses hash browns but they are cheesy potatoes and I normally make them at Christmas. I think I just might have to try these for Thanksgiving this year.
I love the richness evaporated milk gives mashed potatoes. Unfortunately, I am the only one who would eat those. The other people in my house have no idea what tastes good and will not sour cream or cream cheese. But i will keep it in mind for family reunions and church dinners.
That is a real shame! They don't eat sour cream OR cream cheese? I would say try to sneak it in, but these do have a rich flavor that is a little reminiscent of cream cheese. I think they'd catch on. What a bummer!
Tara- I am excited to try out this recipe for our dinner on Thursday!
Let me know how you like it! It's my all time fave for mashed potatoes!

This will easily feed 10 people with enough left overs to feed you through the weekend.
