 Put them in the crock pot and forget them. When you get back, mash them right in the crock pot and you're ready to eat.
Easter dinner was at our house this year. Three of our kids and their children were here. It was wonderful. Love my family. The food was good too.
Merri Ann roasted a turkey and made crock pot potatoes. She cooked them in chicken broth in the crock pot while we were in church. I was a skeptic: unattended in the broth, I thought they would either cook dry and scorch or be soggy in the broth. Instead they were just right, absorbing the broth but not drying out. (Merri Ann is usually right.)
When I make mashed potatoes, I add lots of dairy: butter, sour cream, and/or cream cheese. These had nothing but the broth and they were good. (Well, I do think Merri Ann slipped in a chunk of butter.)
I liked the convenience, to be able to set them going and head to church. Merri Ann mashed them right in the crock pot. That eliminated an extra bowl to wash.
We have a new way to make "Sunday Potatoes."
