I love potatoes but hate the work involved in making mashed potatoes from scratch. So I came up with a simple side dish that was made even easier thanks to my slow cooker. Save the leftover broth for soup the next day! —Katie Hagy, Blacksburg, South Carolina

Ingredients

  • 16 small red potatoes (about 2 pounds)
  • 1 celery rib, sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, sliced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Additional minced fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Place potatoes, celery, carrot and onion in a 4-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, mix broth, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and garlic; pour over vegetables. Cook, covered, on low 6-8 hours or until potatoes are tender.
  2. Transfer potatoes from slow cooker to a 15x10x1-in. pan; discard cooking liquid and vegetables (or save for another use). Using the bottom of a measuring cup, flatten potatoes slightly. Transfer to a large bowl; drizzle with butter. Sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper; toss to coat. Sprinkle with additional parsley.
