this little irish lass {..by heritage} thinks that a creamy bowl of mashed potatoes is the very best part of any holiday meal!

mashed potatoes have a super nostalgic place in my heart.

growing up, they were always at every flynn gathering – be it thanksgiving, christmas or even a sunday supper at my grandma’s – mashed potatoes were there in all their carby glory!

while, i can admit that sometimes the boxed flakes hit the fold-out table, mostly always you could find my aunt hand mashing her heart out in a stove-top pot of yukon golds.

homemade mashed potatoes were one of the first things i mastered – yes, i am giving myself that credit – when i started cooking.

so, when i saw the pinterest pins persuading me that they could be made in a slow cooker, i just knew i had to whip out my best myth busting skills!

all i can say is that i made my flynns proud today.

not only did i master another mashed potato method but i cleared up some more stove-top room for one of my silly uncles to whisk up homemade gravy to top these puppies with!

 sour cream is my preference for flavor! but cream cheese, brie or heavy cream are all tasty alternatives!
