The recipe instructs you to cook the potatoes in the slow cooker, drain and whip with all the yummy stuff and then place back in a clean, greased slow cooker for final warming.

If it is easier, you can always just boil the potatoes on the stove instead and then proceed with the recipe.

To make these a bit more Weight Watchers friendly I used plain non-fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, and reduced-fat cream cheese.
