Mary, you just beat the egg whites, don’t whip them. Honestly, I haven’t made these before (it’s a user submitted recipe) but it has 5 stars! Maybe after you make them you could let us know what you think the egg whites added!

What is the purpose of the egg whites? I noticed that this recipe calls for 2 egg whites beaten. Does this mean loosely with a fork or whipped stiff? Do these egg whites cook during the 2 1/2 hour time on low?
This sounds like a great dish to make ahead and take to family meals…since I have to travel up to 2 hours.

Robyn, I wouldn’t make them more than 2 or 3 days ahead of time. Keep them in a liner and you can reheat them in the crock!

Can you make this a few days ahead ?? How long would they stay in fridge?

This is my new favorite for make ahead mashed potatoes. I made these at 8am for dinner tonight and I licked the beaters clean. Yum. Excellent flavor! Thanks for the tip Linda K. I remember for desserts, but probably wouldn’t have added a towel for taters!

Thanks, Linda! Great tip :) FYI…under the Crockin’ Monday tab, we have a garlic mashed potato recipe we made for Thanksgiving that you do entirely in the crock. No need for the stove :)

Just a tip…after putting potatoes in the crock, to keep condensation from the lid dripping all over your fluffy potatoes,place a clean dish towel over the top before placing the lid back onto the pot. The towel will absorb the water and your potatoes stay warm for hours without drying out or burning!
