Now this version of slow cooker mashed potatoes is different from most versions out there. This recipe for Rich and Creamy Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes actually begins with mashed potato flakes.

The potato flakes get even more rich and cream with some extra ingredients added in. Now don’t just use any type of instant potatoes for this, it needs to be the flake kind to get the right results.

You can top these with gravy or try some herbed butter. I combined a stick of butter with a tsp parsley and a tsp oregano to go on top of these creamy potatoes.
