Storage information
Leftover mashed potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a saucepan over low heat and add a little milk to retain moisture and creaminess. You can also reheat in the microwave, stirring occasionally. When reheating, they may need a little more milk or butter to restore the creamy texture.
To freeze, let the potatoes cool completely, then place in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave or on the stove. Add a little more milk to restore the creaminess.
