I want to share one more suggestion for using the slow cooker on Thanksgiving before I take most of the week off to spend the holiday with some of my favorite kids.  Mashed potatoes are definitely a Thanksgiving "must-have" for most families, and using the slow cooker to cook the potatoes, or to keep them warm during the time your stove is in overdrive can really help on that busy cooking day.  For more ideas using the slow cooker on Thanksgiving, check the bottom of this post.  (And these mashed potatoes are all vegetarian, so I hope no one is too upset if I count this as the Meatless Monday post for this week.  I'll be back with a new recipe sometime on the weekend; Happy Thanksgiving everyone!)

If you're not watching calories for the Thanksgiving feast, you can't go wrong with the Ultimate Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes from Real Mom Kitchen shown at the top of this post.  There's a bonus recipe to for Slow Cooker Brown Sugared Baby Carrots if you have more than one slow cooker.

Those who are trying not to overindulge will like the reduced-fat Slow Cooker Garlic Mashed Potatoes from Skinny Ms.   Using fat-free plain yogurt assures that these potatoes are still plenty creamy.

There's also some Greek yogurt in these Slow Cooker Smoked Paprika Mashed Potatoes from Coconut and Lime.  I love smoked paprika, so I know these would be delish!

I think these Slow Cooker Country Style Garlic Mashed Potatoes from Diethood sound like they would be good any time of year!

There's a little touch of buttermilk in the Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes from 365 Days of Slow Cooking, which sounds like a good idea to me!

For a Thanksgiving mashed potato option that starts on the stove and finishes in the slow cooker, these Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes with Cream Cheese and Sour Cream from A Year of Slow Cooking sound like they would have to be delicious!

I love the sound of these Slow Cooker Mashed Red Potatoes with Skins, also from 365 Days of Slow Cooking!

And finally, Slow Cooker Rosemary Garlic Mashed Potatoes from Coconut and Lime have already been featured here, but they certainly need to be a part of this collection.
