Today’s recipe, which was made and prepared by my mom yesterday, happens to be a Crock Pot recipe. I know many of you are always hunting for good slow cooker recipes, and this makes for an excellent side dish. Prepare it and leave it, with minimal work when you’re ready for dinner. This Cheesy Spinach Mashed Potatoes recipe was adapted by Moms With CrockPots. My mom was sweet enough to save me a little of their leftovers of the Cheesy Spinach Mashed Potatoes, and YUM! My oldest son really enjoyed these slow cooked mashed potatoes as well. I actually tasted the potatoes before they were mashed and completed, and thought they were great, if you want to stop at that step. And of course; it pairs lovely with a steak. Mmm!
