Freezing (and un-freezing)
Mashed Potatoes:
These potatoes (or your favorite recipe) can also be frozen. The morning that they are to be served, the potatoes should be thawed. the potatoes should be covered with aluminum foil, poke holes in the top of the foil for the steam to escape. Place in a 300 degree oven for 30-45 minutes or until heated through. You can also drizzle 4 tablespoons of butter over the thawed potatoes BEFORE placing them in the oven.

How I reheated the mashed potatoes....
From: Julie
The mashed potato recipe sounds great! I can wait to try it. At Thanksgiving I had to transport the mashed potatoes to my brothers and wait until everything was ready to get them hot. Because my brother has a small range and we had other things cooking, I couldn't make them there. What I did was to boiled the potatoes at home, peel them and rice them while they where still hot. then I added some olive oil to them and mixed it alittle. Later at my brother's I added the hot milk, and a little butter and salt. I blended it in the blender and placed it in a baking dish. It came out as if it had just been made!
