My little local produce stand had freshly dug Yukon golds last weekend, and I bought more than I should have. I was wondering if anyone here has ever made a batch of mashed potatoes and frozen them successfully. I know they have tubs of frozen mashed potatoes in the stores, but I've never bought any so can't say if there is any change in taste or texture from fresh. I know fresh is always better, but I hate to see any of these go to waste.
I was thinking of cooking what I have left, mashing them, and using my FoodSaver to bag and freeze them. I guess my question is, should I make them as normal with milk and butter and freeze? Or should I just mash them and freeze, then add the milk and butter after I take them out and they have thawed? Thanks for any suggestions.
