    Slow Cooker Pork Roast and Mashed Red Potatoes

    A simple shredded pork with mashed potatoes and veggies meal. 
    Prep Time20 minutes
    Cook Time8 hours
    Servings - 4 servings

    Ingredients 

    • 2 1/2 lb. pork shoulder roast
    • Salt, pepper and garlic powder
    • 6 red potatoes
    • 1/4 cup sour cream
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 1 tsp minced garlic
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 2 cups frozen veggies

    Instructions

    • Place pork roast in slow cooker with 1/2 cup of water (or you can spray slow cooker with cooking spray). Season with salt, cracked pepper and garlic powder. Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
    • Scrub and cut red potatoes into quarters. Boil for about 10 minutes, until soft and "mashable." Drain water and place in bowl to mash.
    • Mash cooked red potatoes with potato masher. Add sour cream and milk (I'm all out of butter, but 2-3 Tbsp butter would be good too!). Add more milk for creamier potatoes or less milk for chunkier potatoes. Add crushed garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    • Cook frozen veggies according to package instructions.
    • Remove pork from slow cooker when it's finished. Slice into 1/3-1/2 inch slices.
    • Serve Slow Cooker Pork Roast with side of mashed red potatoes and green beans.

      Can you substitute yogurt for the sour cream?
