Recipe Tips

For the fluffiest mashed potatoes, be sure to mash them while they are still hot. Also, don't overmix them as this can make them gummy. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can pass the mashed potatoes through a fine-mesh sieve before serving. Finally, if you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave or re-steam them until heated through.
