Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes, crumbled
1 (3/4 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
salt and pepper, to taste
6 cups warm mashed potatoes (prepared without milk or butter, use leftover cooking water to mash)
extra butter

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, butter, and seasonings until smooth. Stir into mashed potatoes until well blended.
Transfer potatoes to slow cooker. Make an indentation in the middle of the potatoes and place a pat or two of butter in the indentation. Cover and heat on LOW for 2-4 hours. Do not heat for much longer than 4 hours, as it will affect the texture.
