Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes Freezer
Ingredients
5 pounds golden potatoes*1 tablespoon salt
2 cups half and half
2 sticks unsalted butter, divided
Instructions
First, fill a large cooking pot with cold water.Peel each potato and then place it in the cold water. Once all of the potatoes are in the pot, then turn on the heat to HIGH.
Bring the potatoes to a boil, add the salt, and continue to cook until the potatoes are tender all the way through, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes, and then return to them to the pot immediately.
Add the half and half and one stick of the butter. Using an electric mixer, beat the potatoes to mash them and combine them with the half and half and butter.
Place the potaotes in whichever freezer storage dish you prefer: either 8x8" pans or mini loaf pans. Slice the remaining stick of butter and dot it along the surface. Cover the pans tightly with heavy duty aluminum foil, place them in freezer-safe bags and freeze.
To reheat, place the potatoes directly from the freezer with the foil cover still on them into a 350-degree oven. Heat for 30 minutes, stir, and continue to cook until they're warm throughout.
You may need to add an extra splash of half and half or salt before serving--taste and adjust to your preferences.
