Ingredients
  

  • Mashed potatoes

Instructions
 

  • Make the mashed potatoes as you normally would. Yes, milk, butter, heavy cream, cream cheese, and other ingredients may be added to the mash. The fat helps it freezes well!
  • Allow it to cool fully: keeping hot food in the freezer can cause the temperature of your freezer can alter its temperature, which can affect the other food stored in it.
  • transfer it to portioned freezer-safe airtight containers or freezer-safe bags. If using a freezer bag, make sure to remove as much air as you can to avoid ice crystalization and freezer burn
  • Place in the freezer and store for up 6 months or longer at your discretion.
