4lbsred potatoes,cleaned and rinsed (peeled or unpeeled), cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
Spray a 6 - 7 quart slow cooker with non-stick spray. Place potatoes in slow cooker then pour water evenly over top**.

Whip with an electric hand mixer until desired texture is reached, while adding in milk to reach desired consistency.

Notes
* If your slow cooker allows excess moisture to evaporate from the slow cooker I'd recommend adding in an extra 1/4 cup of water.
