These are fantastic. I peeled the potatoes the day before,kept them in the fridge in water,cooked them the following morning mixed them and then kept them in the crock pot,and turned on the crockpot a couple of hrs. before the meal to reheat a bit. I skipped the chives and the bacon. This recipe is placed in my Tried and true cookbook. Thank you so much for a wonderful recipe.

Made these the day before Christmas as I never have enough room in my oven. They were great.Added a little more milk to the leftovers the next day. Family asked if there were anymore after they were all gone. Have given this recipe to 2 friends that have both have made good comments. This is a very convenient recipe! Will be using it for large gatherings again. Thanks Helping Hand.

These are to die for! I've made them several times and always have rave reviews and requests for the recipe. It's Red, White & Green for Christmas! I double the recipe. I boil whole red potatoes (2- 3lb. bags) in a stock pot and then drain them and mash them right in the pot with the skins still on. Then I mash the other ingredients into them. I add extra garlic, chives, marjoram, green onions & bacon bits (hormel real crumbled picnic bacon). I add some cream along with the milk and more sour cream until it's extra creamy. I put it into a removable crock from my crock pot and refrigerate it until 1-2 hours before the event. Then I bake it at 350 until heated through. I bring it to the event, put it into the crockpot set on low, dot it with butter and paprika & Wowee, it all disappears! Yummy! Thank you for this recipe.

Thouht they would be similiar to so many other but oh I was wrong. I only had plain cream cheese, used dried chives, and did not add the bacon this time but it was really good. Did not need to add any milk. Was really creamy and the leftovers even better. Thanks!

This is a great recipe. I made them Thaksgivings eve and refrigerated them. A couple of hours before dinner, I put the crockpot on low, added some milk and butter. I stirred a couple of times before we ate and they were great.

FANTASTIC!!I made these taters for New Years dinner and everybody loved them. I made one alteration. I used regular cream cheese and added a little more fresh chives and onions. They were so rich someone asked me if it was a dip!

This is the first time I have made my mashed potatoes in the crock pot. They turned out very well. I even “boiled” them over night in the crock pot. It worked beautifully. These potatoes were very good. I will probably begin experimenting with the mix-ins until I come up with what my family prefers.

Thank you! I gave this recipe to my mom to make up for Thanksgiving. We were going to put them in the oven the next day but ended up putting them in the crockpot. They worked out great. They were creamy and tasty. I think they were on low for about 4 hours and turned out fantastic! Thanks for a wonderful recipe.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! This is a life saver recipe. I had a holiday lunch at work this past Monday and since I live about 30 mins away from my office, I needed something that I could keep warm in a crockpot. I made these mashed potatoes the night before omitting the marjoram, bacon and paprika and put it the fridge. The next morning I took my crockpot to work and plugged it in. Right before serving I placed some butter on top, stirred it and added it to the buffet table. Everyone loved it! Thank you for making me look so good.
