Recipe Tips

To save time, you can prepare the butter mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use. You can also use a hand mixer to mash the potatoes for a smoother texture. Leftover mashed potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a little bit of milk or cream to restore the creamy texture.
