Directions:
Add potatoes to crockpot with 1 cup water.
Cook on HIGH for 3–4 hours or LOW for 6–8 hours, until tender.
Drain excess water, then mash with milk, butter, salt, and pepper.
Let cool slightly before forming into cakes.
Pro Tip: Make this the night before – cold mashed potatoes hold their shape better!
