Cheddar Mashed Potatoes – Made In The Slow Cooker | Crock Pot

Cheddar Mashed Potatoes are a kids best friend at the dinner table.  Come to think of it, Mashed Potatoes cooked in a slow cooker | crock pot is everybody’s best friend.  And the real kicker is when you add the Cheddar Cheese to the Mashed Potatoes Recipe.  Can anybody say YUM?  I know that I can. 

When dinner time rolls around and I see my wife pulling out the cookbook (that she printed from this  recipe site) and zeroing in on a cheddar mashed potatoes recipe I know that I am in for a treat.  There is something about cheese and potatoes.  They kind of go together like peanut butter and jelly.

I’ll be the first to admit that a chef right out of cooking school or culinary school probably is not going to think that this is the best side dish for your dinner.  But what do they know?  They have been trained to work in some fancy restaurant that charges high prices.  We just want to sit down at the dinner table or for lunch with something that taste good.
