These homestyle mashed potatoes cooked in the Crock Express on Pressure Cooker mode are so easy and best of all there is no boiling or draining required!
One of my favorite sides of all time are mashed potatoes. The potatoes are such a great side dish and go great with turkey for the holidays or pair well with my Mississippi Roast, BBQ Cheeseburger Meatloaf or Traditional Pot Roast for a family meal.
In this recipe I am using red potatoes, but I also love a buttery Yukon Gold. They both make very creamy mashed potatoes, but be sure to not over whip them! Whipping your potatoes for too long can create a gummy texture. We want to keep them nice and fluffy!
It’s not necessary to peel your potatoes, but to have creamy mashers it’s a must. If you are in a hurry or feeling a little lazy don’t worry. Quarter them and throw them into the pot and they will still be delicious!
There are so many different ways to make mashed potatoes, but this simple and basic recipe is my favorite. Go ahead and put some garlic in or make them loaded by adding cheese, bacon, sour cream and even some chili to make it a meal!
