Notes

Gummy potatoes. Over-boiling, over-mashing, and adding too much liquid can cause the mashed potatoes to turn out gummy.

Store. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave, stovetop, or cover with foil and heat in the oven. Add a little milk to help smooth out the texture.

Pro Tip: Use an ice cream scoop to drop portions of the potatoes onto a baking tray and freeze. Once solid place them in a freezer container.
