(Tweaked from recipe online)

• 5 lbs sierra gold potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 cup Milk (i use fat free)
• 1 cup butter, cut into chunks
• 1 tablespoon salt, plus

• 1 1/3  cups milk, warmed

2. Season with salt .
3. Cover, and cook on High for 4 hours, or low 8 hours.
4. Do not remove the excess liquid from slow cooker. This adds to the creamy texture.
5. Mash potatoes with a masher or electric beater, adding the desired amount of warm milk to achieve a creamy consistency.
