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.
