Notes
Storing and Reheating Instructions
- Refrigerator: store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freezer: store in an airtight container or freezer bags in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To reheat: either microwave or transfer to a small pot over medium heat and add a little extra butter and milk.
- Instead of red potatoes, Idaho or Yukon gold work great, too.
- For extra creamy potatoes, substitute heavy cream for the milk.
- You can leave the peels on or take them off, whichever you prefer, just make sure to wash them
- Start with cold water covering your potatoes, then bring to a boil. They will cook more evenly this way.
- Salting the water you boil your potatoes in seasons them as they cook.
- A hand potato masher will you give you a great rustic mashed potatoes texture.
- Cutting your potatoes smaller will make them cook faster!
