Recipe Tips

To save time, you can boil the potatoes in advance and keep them in the fridge until you're ready to make the mashed potatoes. You can also use an electric mixer or a food processor to mash the potatoes if you don't have a masher. Make sure not to overmix the potatoes, or they will become gummy. Finally, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a little bit of milk or butter to maintain the creaminess.
