My mother gave me this make-ahead crockpot recipe for mashed potatoes after looking online for something to suit her taste. This was what she came up with. I usually make this the night before Thanksgiving or Christmas and store it in the refrigerator in my slow cooker crock. It frees up my holiday to enjoy with family, and it tastes delicious!

Ingredients

  • potatoes: 5 pound (peeled)
  • cream cheese: 1 pack (8 ounce pack, softened)
  • half-and-half: 0.5 cup (or more if needed)

  • egg whites, slightly: 2 piece (beaten)

  1. Place potatoes into a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain; return potatoes to the pot and stir gently over medium heat until dry, 1 to 2 minutes.
