MASHED POTATOES

• A friend made these mashed potatoes and said they are the best!
• 
  
• 2 pounds red potatoes, cut into 2 inch pieces (you can peel them but I never do - I love red potato skins in my mashed potatoes!)
• ½ cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
• ¼ cup milk
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

1. Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray. Add chopped potatoes. Cover and cook 2-3 hours on high or 5-6 hours on low.
2. Add sour cream, milk, garlic, salt, and pepper to potatoes. Use a hand mixer to blend together all ingredients. (Please see note below recipe!) Give them a taste and add more salt if desired. Serve plain, or with any favorite toppings such as gravy, or cheese and bacon.
