Tips & Tricks (5)

Cut Potatoes Uniformly 🥔
Cut all Yukon gold potatoes into equal 1.5-inch pieces to ensure they cook at the same rate and prevent some from being mushy while others remain firm.
Infuse Buttermilk with Garlic 🧄
Warm the buttermilk with minced garlic and rosemary for 2-3 minutes before adding to the crock pot to deepen flavor penetration and create a more cohesive taste throughout.
Use Low Setting with Timing ⏱️
Cook on LOW for 6-7 hours rather than HIGH to prevent the edges from breaking down too much, which keeps mashed potatoes creamier and prevents them from becoming gluey from over-stirring.
Reserve Starchy Water for Consistency 💧
Save 1 cup of the chicken stock cooking liquid to adjust creaminess at the end, as crock pots retain more moisture than stovetop cooking and you may need less dairy overall.
Finish with Cold Butter 🧈
Stir in cold, cubed unsalted butter after mashing for a silkier texture and richer mouthfeel than melted butter, which can sometimes make potatoes feel heavier.
