The BEST Mashed Potatoes

Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes

This recipe can easily be made ahead of time. Follow the directions in the recipe card below. Transfer the cooled potatoes to a microwave-safe bowl or dish and cover tightly.

Remove the potatoes from the refrigerator an hour before reheating.

To reheat in the oven:
Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes or until heated through. Stirring occasionally will help them reheat faster.
To reheat in the microwave:
Cover and reheat on 50% power in 60-second intervals, stirring in between. Stir in hot milk if the potatoes are too thick.
To reheat in the slow cooker:
Transfer to a slow cooker and turn the heat to low. Depending on the size of your slow cooker, this may take 2 to 3 hours to heat through. You will also need to stir occasionally, adding additional hot milk if the mashed potatoes are too thick.
