Mashed Potatoes

For this week we are falling under the "Something you've never tried before" category, and probably not in the sense if was meant for. But...its been a crazy week. (and I'm trying to be "Ray" food friendly!)

I made mashed potatoes from the crock pot.
It was so easy I think I might always do that.
I filled the crock pot up about 2/3 full of potatoes. Covered them with water and set it to cook for about 3 hours on high. (Or 6 hours on low if you think to do it that far in advance.) I poured off the water and mashed them in the pot with butter and milk. It worked like a charm. I'd never thought to do that before.
Now...everyone knows.
I can put on the potatoes right before Em comes home, go to my PTA meetings, Boy scout den meetings, and give piano lessons, then mash right before serving! I love it.
