mashed potato question

I want to make sure this is right, I can make the mashed potatoes and put
them in a crock pot on warm and they will be fine, right? Like for an hour
or so and all during dinner. I don't want to mess them up so please correct
me if I'm wrong.

Why certainly, atop half a pound of melted butter.

You can make therm the night before and stick them covered, in
the microwave at 60% power to reheat, stirring every couple
minutes.

thanks, that could work but my oven is small, the kitchen is tiny and there
is a lot of traffic going on. I get a lot of 'help'. Since grandchildren
really like mashed potatoes I thought it would be nice to have that part out
of the way. Even the microwave gets used a lot. I like to get everything on
the table hot.

That probably won't work very well. They'll probably get somewhat dried
out. I tried a crockpot mashed potato recipe. It contained a lot of cream
cheese and it just wasn't for me.

My family does this every year. Potatoes are mashed as usual, and the
crockpot is set on low. A little butter on top, and they're fine for
3-4 hours. The very bottom can get a little scorched, but that's
about it.

Michelle, I will use a crockpot sometimes, at other times I will place
all of the hot dishes in coolers (?!) to keep them hot.
