Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes

Creamy *Freezable* Homemade Mashed Potatoes

I hate boxed potatoes. The taste, the texture, and all the extra junk they add.... No thanks! A few years ago, I started poking around on the web and found out that mashed potatoes are freezable. These are so easy to make and easy to store for later. They keep their texture and taste after thawing and are SO MUCH BETTER FOR YOU than those fake boxed potatoes from the store. The biggest perk for our house is that these are kid tested and approved.

My kids love these and will ask for seconds and sometimes even thirds! 10# fills around five 1-quart bags for us or approximately 25-30 servings. Start to finish, these take around 30-40 minutes to prepare.
