Peel, Cube, and boil the potatoes in generously salted water until tender

Drain the water and place the potatoes and other ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Beat with hand mixer, adding milk as needed for the right consistency.

Transfer to your slow cooker bowl, top with dollops of butter, and sprinkle a little paprika over the top.

Cover and store in the fridge until your holiday.

Cook on low power for at least 6 hours.

If you prefer to use your microwave, spread the mashed potatoes into shallow greased baking dish and microwave on low power for 30 minutes.
