Free up some space on your stovetop by making mashed potatoes in the slow cooker. Just put hearty Russet potatoes and water into your cooker in the morning and four hours later you’re ready to mash, season and serve.
When you're cooking with all four burners (literally) and your oven is full, use your microwave to make sweet potatoes. They'll be soft and ready to mash in a matter of minutes.

Even though the sauce for this recipe is made on the stovetop, it’s done far in advance (four hours before the casserole is ready to serve), which means that all four burners will be free when you’re ready to cook on the stove.

Skip the homemade cranberry sauce if you need to save space on the stovetop. Upgrade the canned, store-bought version by adding maple, port, fresh thyme and orange like Ree does.
