Peel potatoes and cut them into cubes, about ½ to 1 inch each

Place cubes in a slow cooker and cover with water

Cook on high for about 4 hours, or low for about 7 hours.

It’s OK to leave fully cooked potatoes on “warm” until shortly before serving, up to 2 hours.

Check that the potatoes are fully cooked, then drain the water.

Add butter and some brown sugar.

Turn the slow cooker off. Mash with a potato masher right in the slow cooker.

Serve with a bowl of brown sugar on the table so everyone can have the sweetness they prefer.
