Notes
KEEPING WARM
To keep the potatoes warm for up to 30 minutes before serving, place them over a pot with simmering water. Don’t let the boil touch the water.
FREEZING & REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS
You can freeze your potatoes a month in advance of eating. Turn out into a freezer-safe baking dish. I prefer to use aluminum foil pans. Cover with aluminum foil, then wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Freeze. 3 days before cooking, remove from the freezer and allow the mashed potatoes to thaw in the fridge. When you’re ready to cook, place it in a cold oven, then turn the oven to 350˚. Bake for 45 – 60 minutes, until the middle, is piping hot. Serve!
