Anytime I have a potluck dinner to attend, mashed potatoes are my go to side dish. In fact, I fix mashed potatoes at home several times per week. My kids love them and it is the one dish that I know will be eaten no matter what main dish I am serving. Of course, nobody likes boxed mashed potatoes. They’re quick and easy but there is just nothing like the real thing – which is where these crockpot mashed potatoes come in.
