I have heard that you could freeze leftover mashed potatoes, but have never tried it.
A few weeks ago, I decided to give it a try. I lined my texas muffin pan with the cupcake liners and flash frozen them. when they were frozen I took them out of the pan and put them in my sealer bag. Today, I pulled one out and microwaved it. After 3o sec. in microwave I pulled off the paper and then microwaved for about 3 min.
To my surprise, I had mashed potatoes exactly like the day I froze them.
Sad to think back to all the years that I threw out the perfectly good mashed pototoes.
Guess it is never to late to learn something new.

I don't know what leftover mashed potatoes are :-)

Ever had potato pan cakes? They're great for left over mashed potatoes.

These are a staple at the Friday fish fry in my area of Wisconsin. Yum!

I freeze everything. If it doesnt work out, oh well. Most of the time it works out great. We hate to waste food. Oh, never have leftover mashed potatoes!

@proudlyfromNJ I just wanted to say thanks for my one chuckle during a rather dreary day . . .
