Source: Found on Pinterest

Made for our 37th wedding anniversary dinner June 2020.
Super easy and great flavor!

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. red potatoes, washed and chopped into 2-inch pieces (you don't need to peel them)
  • 4 Tbls. butter
  • 1/2 c. low-fat sour cream (Daisy)
  • 1 Tbls. minced garlic (from jar)
  • 2 t. dried parsley flakes
  • 1/2 t. dried basil
  • 1/4 t. dried oregano
  • 1-1/2 t. salt
  • 1 t. pepper
  • 1/4 c. milk (a little more if needed to get desired consistency)

Instructions

Add chopped potatoes to a well greased slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours. Stir periodically.

*Near the end of the cooking time, start checking to see if the potatoes are done early. If so, add remaining ingredients and mash; change slow cooker setting to WARM until you are ready to serve.

When potatoes are cooked and fork-tender, add all remaining ingredients (let the butter melt for a couple of minutes).

Use a hand mixer or a masher to mash the potatoes. Serve warm

NOTE: This recipe can easily be doubled for large groups - just increase the cooking time by 1-2 hours.
